Description
Our 0.8mm Copper Wire is 100% copper wire. Copper is a soft metal and this round 0.8mm diameter wire is easy to use but holds its shaped very well. As with all wire it can be hardened by simply handling it.
To harden this wire you simply just run the wire through your fingers several times. If your fingers complain (which they probably will until they’ve hardened themselves!) use a pair of nylon jawed pliers. We recommend these pliers if you are going to do a lot of wire work. The nylon jaws grip the wire without marking the wire. Running wire through the jaws will harden the wire making it stiffer and hold shapes much better.
The 0.8mm copper wire is an ideal diameter to make your own jewellery findings such as toggle clasps.
Each pack is approximately 6 metres in length. There are 10 x 6 metre packets in this pack. It is also available in single packs. This is part of a range of diameters we stock in copper from 0.4mm to 1.0mm.

In a lot of projects, especially from the USA, the wire is label as a gauge. The 1mm wire we stock is also known as 18 gauge wire.
