Wire Weaving Tip

by Oksana Truhan
When I'm doing wire weaving for a very long time, the wire loses its flexibility. It becomes brittle and fragile. Here's a tip for alleviating that problem!
Instructions
But, as you may know, you can restore the flexibility of the wire if you anneal, or heat it.
The most convenient way is to use a lighter for this. It's not so hot that it will melt the wire, but it's hot enough to make it soft again.
