0.6mm Brass Wire

Description

0.6mm brass wire is a sturdy craft wire that is easily manipulated with your fingers. We would always recommend that you use nylon jawed pliers to save your fingers! Nylon jawed pliers are invaluable when working with wire. Use the nylon jawed pliers to harden the wire and to easily shape the wire without marking it.

0.6mm wire can be used for making your findings such as fishhooks, headpins, and eyepins. The 0.6mm diameter makes a good base for wire wrapping irregularly shaped stones or symmetrical cabochons. Wire together with our 0.4mm to make a cage to hold stones, beads, and cabochons.

Brass wire is made up of 70% Copper and 30% Zinc. There is no plating but it will still tarnish over some time as all wire does. The tarnishing is easy to clean if you wish but the tarnish will give a patina finish, which is popular for steampunk jewellery. The brass wire has a soft golden finish and gives your projects a golden look.

We stock a range of diameters of brass wire and other platings. Have a look at our full range of wire for Gold Plated, Sterling Silver, and Coloured Wire. All lengths stated are approximate.
0.6mm silver plated wire is equivalent to 22 gauge wire and comes on a 10 metre spool.
