Materials & Tools
Step 1: Choose Your Wire
0.2 mm ✓ Durable finish ✓ Pure copper ✓ Soft & flexible ✓
For beginners, we recommend starting with the two most versatile colors: Silver and KC Gold.
More experienced makers can explore different color combinations and experiment with 0.3 mm copper wire.
Step 2: Choose Your Crochet Hook
The shaft should be smooth.
The tip should be rounded.
The hook groove should be smooth and well polished.
A rough hook can snag the wire.
A tip that is too sharp may damage the protective coating on the wire.
If the hook groove and surrounding edges are not polished smoothly, they may scratch or even cut through the copper wire.
