[Nfb-krafters-korner] knitting with wire and beads on a loom update

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Maybe I might try it with thicker wire.  My friends suggested adding beads at the ends of my eye chords.  
The also have leather and thicker chord that might work and the chord comes in colors.  Has anyone ever made a necklace from yarn and beads?  This sounds kind of chalanging, after convention!

Terry asked:

What gage did you use?  26?  Is that thick or thin?
How did you lift the wire with out any stretch?

Cathy answers:

Yes, 26 gauge. It is pretty thin wire, seed beads fit on it. I wrapped the wire loose enough so that I had enough room to pull the loops over the pegs.
At this point I really have not done enough of a bracelet to really know how well it will work. I just know it is doable.
