Hi All,
Where is everyone buying their pseudo-silver wire? I know about the aluminum and copper at the hardware store, but I want soe that looks more like silver
Thanks! Phil

Phil, I have only been wrapping for a month or so, but I have used some silver colored copper wire I bought at Michael's craft store. I would imagine Hobby Lobby, or any other well stocked craft store that has beading supplies would have something you could try.
Good luck! Nate

Went to Hobby Lobby today to get some 21 G either flat or square, and nothing but round! Where can I get some flat or square? ?? Thanks ahead of time.

Sorry Phil, I didn't reply earlier because I didn't know of any source for what you were wanting. redrockrods is right. I've only been able to buy square or 1/2 round from specialty stores. Bead stores have lots of different types of wire but I've never had any luck finding square or 1/2 round at them. I bought my square and 1/2 round copper from brandywine. You can use round wire to wire wrap but I've never done it. Diane

The stuff I bought is silver plated, and is decent wire. Didn't have any trouble with it. I got it at www.parawire.com . They also have gold plated...only trouble is they do not carry 1/2 round, last I looked, so I bought the round.
