Lazee Daizee  Viking Knit 1/4" and 1/2" Viking Knit Tools & End Caps

Description

The 1/4" diameter tool with a 6-loop head generates a very flexible and fluid chain that works up fast and creates woven lengths that are great for draping as a necklace alone or with pendants. The largest diameter wire you can use with the 6 loop head is a 22 gauge, which will result in about a 3/8" diameter woven tube. This is a nice size for a bracelet, which will still remain flexible unless an inner support such as a wire or plastic tubing is used. Multiple stands and sizes can be used together to form a larger project. The 1/4" tool will also accommodate a 20 gauge wire by reducing the number of loops used and can be very effect as a bail when used over a smaller woven chain.
The 1/2” diameter tool has 12 loops. Due to the increased number of loops on the head you can be more creative and versatile with the number of loops used as well as accommodating larger gauges of wire more easily. It lends itself to decorative applications such as adding headpins with embellishments and, because of the larger diameter, items like pearls and gems can be inserted inside the weave. Weave on this tool can be reduced to 3/8” and 1/4” diameter, depending on the gauge of wire and number of loops used, however the weave is very stiff and does not drape well. Multiple stands of wire can be used with both tools.
Also includes 12 end caps. Style may be different than end caps shown.
