Artistic Wire 22 Gauge Bare Copper Craft Jewelry Wrapping Wire, 8 yd

Thank you now I can continue adding this to my plants and other hobbies lined up

COuldnt' find this gauge anywhere. This is perfect!

Very nice for jewelry making.

I have a lot of sets of round copper wire with multiple gauges, but for some reason, none of my sets came with any 20 gauge wire, which is actually a thickness I would really like to use quite often. So I bought this.Please note this is actually bare copper wire. There is a little confusion with the item description because it seems recycled from other Artistic Wire products (you may have seen other Artistic Wire spools with green or purple or orange coatings, for example). What I received was BARE copper wire with no non-tarnish coating (this is what I wanted). I have played around with patinas and they have taken, which to me is confirmation of no enamel coating and no non-tarnish coating. If you want this not to tarnish, keep it in a small, closed container with one of those 3M anti-tarnish tabs (the same goes for any jewelry items made from it). Or seal it with some kind of sealant or spray, though sealants usually need to be periodically reapplied.This seems to be dead soft. I can manipulate it with my hands though I prefer using nylon-jaw pliers. (Depending on what I want to do, sometimes I just use non-coated pliers. For example, if I want to use bail-making or roundnose pliers, I'll just use the bare steel ones. I have not yet had to anneal it to re-soften it but that is always a possibility if you work it too much. This cuts easily with my small Eurotool flush cutters.I'm not saying my wire wrapping looks very good yet, but that is on me. I just need more practice. I am pretty good at making eyepins (really, something everyone should learn to make, as it's just silly to pay for finished ones that might not even be the length you want) with this so far, and I've made some paddle-type headpins by pounding the end of a cut piece with a hammer.Anyway, this was a good purchase for practice with wire wrapping and for making headpins and eyepins. I'll likely go back to the same product when I run out.

Works great in my stained glass projects

I'm do jewelry with this

Could be because user error, but was hoping it would be stronger

It was used for wrapping around wire strands to strengthen the connection before splicing them with solder, a neat technique I learned for DIY work to extend battery cables more securely and with less frustration. I can imagine getting creative with it for craftwork as well, maybe in the future.

Really nice wire and perfect for making induction coils. My only thought is... heaven help you to get into the packaging!

Very strong, but pliable wire. Was exactly what I needed.

Bought for doing crochet jewellery but was too curly!

easy to use and easy to store reels and is fairly priced. Nicely done I will use again definitely as I make jewellery and its fabulous for that need

Love it for crafts. Sturdy but easy to bend. Just what I was looking for
