Is this still considered wire wrap?  This was done with fine silver (.999) with sterling end caps and clasp. Fine silver is an interesting wire to work with, truly "dead soft". You have to be gentle with it. I really like the bright white look it has, sterling looks real dark next to it. |

Thanks guys. Cathy, it took about 3.5 hours to weave and complete the bracelet.
Jo, yeah the fine silver is awesome in this.

Don, is that the Viking Weave? It's lovely. Not wirewrap, but in chainmailled category. Glad to know you can do it with fine silver.

Cool! I am assuming you have some sort of draw plate you use to pull it through to even it all out before terminating the ends? it looks very much like spool knitting I used to do as a kid only with wire! |

Looks like you are going to need to post a tutorial on the process Does drawing out/through the plate make it grow in length ? |

Drawing does make it lengthen, and it sort of makes things more uniform. Wish I could pull my cabs through it!
