I rarely use colored wire for basic loops because I scratch the color off with my tools. Do you have a brand that holds up well?Lisa Yang Jewelryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16851061995303198057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154120257955860216.post-8114831083749390352016-04-28T00:27:11.250-07:002016-04-28T00:27:11.250-07:00I love viki g knit too but haven't done any fo...I love viki g knit too but haven't done any for ages. I don't understand wire guages as we don't measure it that way but i use 0.3mm or 0.4mm wire which you can get in loads of different coloursWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167739272302561918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154120257955860216.post-47993151024325102822016-04-27T12:49:39.039-07:002016-04-27T12:49:39.039-07:00I love Viking Knit!

You should try it!<br />Viking Knit will always be my go-to for using heavier gauges of wire, though, as I don't think any wire gauge heavier than 28 or 26 would work well with the ISK tool. I've done Viking Knit in 24 and 22 gauge (mostly for small pieces like earrings).sis5of11https://www.blogger.com/profile/16004119984903655372noreply@blogger.com
