Colour Coated Wire

Colour Coated Wire:

Available in Black, Red, Green, Orange, Purple , Gold, Copper, Silver , White, Blue. 0.34mm diameter on a 50 meter spool. Ideal for bead weaving & knitting. Made from a soft base metal.

You can use coloured wire just like other metal wire. Another great thing about this coloured wire is that you can bend it, coil it, spiral it, and wrap it to your heart’s content and not have to worry about the colour chipping off. You can even hammer it and still get great results!

Keep in mind that craft wire isn’t good for soldering or fusing projects–save those for the traditional Jewelry-making metals, such as silver and gold.

Be careful with your pliers. If you have a set of worn pliers or cutters, you’ll need to take a little extra care when working with coloured wire. If you’re too rough with them, they may mar the colour coating, possibly exposing the copper underneath. There’s an easy solution, though. Just dip your pliers in a coating like Tool Magic.
