Three tips for crochet with wireÂ
Use the right needle
The first suggestion that we are going to give you is related to the needle that you will use to crochet. She needs to be strong. Don’t make the mistake of choosing a thin one because it will break. The wire is a much firmer thread than the string you usually use. Just in case, don’t also use a needle that has sentimental value to you.
Use the right wire
There are several types of wire. Do not choose one that is too strong. After all, you will struggle to do what you want with it. Prefer to use one that is already intended for handicrafts. Those that are of this type are very thin and will make your life easier. In addition, they make work much more delicate.
Learn to choose the type of beads
Not all work you are going to crochet with wire involves the use of beads. Still, they will give a lot of grace to the pieces you make. When choosing which type you will use, avoid those that have any coating that may come off. By doing this, you will avoid going through stressful moments and will also not damage the beads.
