So I figured out a way to recycle high gauge copper wires (in most household electric cords). I twist them together to form a er wire. It takes a while, but not hard. It hardly kinks, and is more flexible than a sold wire that gauge. Lol. I actually really like the look. Opinions? Suggestions?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I love the look and can see how it would be more flexible than 16, 18 or 20 gauge solid. Do you use a crochet hook? and you must show the finished product!!

No, I use the wire to go backwards. If your interested, there are some great tutorials on YouTube. I use a Lazee Daizee 1/4 in dowel. But really want to try freeform.
Yeah, I bet you could knit with that. I am thinking chain mail for your Renaissance Fair Barbie and Ken figures.

With the flexibility, I probably could.
An interesting braid pattern. What will it become when finished?
