[Nfb-krafters-korner] beading wire width, terry

[jill]

Cathy,
I am not sure what it is millimeters or inches, but it feels like fishing
line which is a bit stiffer.  It is coated wire, so it doesn't kink like the
wire we use for safety pin beading.

Hi Terry,

It is confusing. Apparently, Sometimes wire appears to be labeled by giving
what gauge it is and other times it gives the diameter measurement for the
wire. So when I saw LM's list with the decimal zero one eight, I assumed
incorrectly that it was the same as eighteen gauge wire. Not so, silly me.
So anyhow this wire she is talking about can have a diameter of point zero
one two, point zero one five or point zero one eight. So I am ordering .018.
whether the measurement of the wire is for an inch or mm I do not know. 

I learn a new thing just about every day. That is what makes life
interesting.

Cathy
