I like to tumble my jewelry, so as a precaution I add all my gems and beads into my design after tumbling. This means I need lots of pre oxidized wires in different gauges and hardness ready to go.

To keep these pre oxidized wires organized and tangle free I use Kumihimo bobbins.

They are great as I can write the gauge and hardness on the bobbins and they snap together making for tidy storage when they are not being used.
