Conversion chart - Gauge / mm
In summary

AWG (American Wire Gauge) is a unit of measurement used to evaluate the thickness of wires, essential for jewelry. The higher the AWG value, the smaller the diameter, making it easier to choose between Gold Filled and copper wires, for example. To help you, a conversion table between gauge and millimeter is also available.

Bonjour, nous n'avons encore jamais testé le fil de cuivre avec la technique de la dentelle aux fuseaux. Toutefois, ce type de fil présente plusieurs inconvénients : sa rigidité, sa tendance à marquer facilement et son risque de casse en cas de mauvaise tension et peut endommager les fuseaux. Pour cette technique, les fils en coton ou en soie sont largement recommandés.

Bonjour,
Existe-t-il un moyen ou un outil dans le style "One Step 1.5 mm Looper" qui fonctionnerait avec du fil 'gauge' de 26 (0.4mm) ? Ou n'est-ce possible que manuellement avec une pince ronde ? Et si c'est le cas, quelle genre de pince faudrait-il acheter ? Je pensais alors à cet article : Pince ronde à ressort 15.5 cm - manche ergonomique by Perles&Co x1 - réf. HRA-073. Merci d'avance :)
