The fine diameter makes it easy to position around beads, stones, frames, and small components without adding the bulk of heavier wire. It's particularly useful for designs that require repeated wraps, multiple passes, or closely spaced wirework. Excellent for Wire Wrapping & Weaving The combination of 26 gauge diameter and soft temper makes this wire particularly well suited to detailed wrapping and weaving. Use it for wire weaving around heavier base wires, wrapping beads and stones, creating small coils and spirals, adding decorative details, and completing intricate jewelry components. Warm Antique Copper Finish The Antique Copper finish gives your designs the rich character of aged copper without requiring you to chemically patina or naturally oxidize bare copper. Its darker copper tone works beautifully with natural stones, earth-tone beads, wood, leather, charms, and mixed-metal designs. It's an attractive choice for rustic, vintage-inspired, nature-themed, and mixed-media jewelry. 99% Pure Copper Core ParaWire Metallic Craft Wire begins with a 99% pure copper core. A tinted, flexible coating is baked onto the wire to create the Antique Copper color while helping protect the underlying copper from tarnishing. Because this is coated wire, the Antique Copper appearance is consistent along the wire rather than being a naturally developed patina. 200 Feet for Detailed Projects Fine-gauge wrapping and weaving can use a surprising amount of wire. Each roll contains 200 feet of 26 gauge wire, giving you plenty of material for intricate projects, repeated components, and wire-intensive designs. The generous roll length is particularly useful for weaving patterns and detailed wrapping techniques where numerous passes of fine wire may be required.
