WoolyWire Inspiration!
My new friends at WoolyWire sent me a stash of fibers to play with. Oh, and such play I had! I received so much of a stash that I have plenty to share with two lucky winners!
WoolyWire is a fiber that has been hand dyed and hand spun onto 24-gauge solid copper wire. It can be shaped, twisted, coiled, wrapped, woven through chain, formed into links, just to name a few ideas. It has been permanently felted to keep the fiber on the wire. WoolyWire is sold in 36” increments and is available in all sorts of beautiful colors. It is easy to work with and the possibilities are great.

This looks amazing! I can see a very fun, Asian-inspired locket necklace or charm bracelet being made from this, or even a colorful bird nest pair of earrings! Very cool!
I would love to wrap earrings. I haven’t tried this product yet.
Such a beautifull material. I would like to test it.
This looks so awesome!
I’d use it in conjunction with a lot of my designs including wire wrapped cabochons and I can see it being a fun addition to chainmaille designs too. I’ve also started combining wire wrapping with horseshoes and this would be a really fun addition to that idea also.
I’m
Intrigued by the softness the wool brings to an otherwise hard looking form … And love the range of colors. I work with Seaglass and never wrap it. However I have many small old bottle bottoms and think that it would be quite beautiful to use sea colors (and the peaches/pinks) of the wooly wire to make some small jellyfish as sculptural forms hanging from a long necklace. At least, that’s my first thought!! Hopefully you’ll let us post subsequent thoughts! You’ve certainly got me thinking … It’s always interesting finding new format to incorporate in to fine jewelry!! Thanks for introducing …
I’d like to make a bracelet. I’ve been wanting to try this out but haven’t yet!
I would love to wrap flat tags and pebbles! I’m excited, this looks like a great new product!
This is such a neat idea!! I would have so much fun with this! I think I could get very creative with this 🙂
I would love to play around with the idea of using the wooly wire with some ring bezels and crystal clay, using some chantons as accents…
I would love to incorporate this in bracelets. Very cool.
wow!!!! WHAT AN EXCITING WAY TO COMBINE 2 DIFFERENT PRODUCTS AND COME UP WITH THIS. i CAN HARDLY WAIT TO INCORPORATE THIS IN MY JEWELRY.
I have been wanting to try the wooly wire and have an idea for a necklace.
I’ve been wanting to play with this. I have some copper wire and an old wooden bangle bracelet I’d love to try wrapping with this.
This is right up my alley – I own a gallery/yarn shop combination in Cape Hatteras, NC. I make lots of mixed media jewelry and am currently using Nunn Design products in weekly workshops. To me, WoolyWire is begging to be made into buttons – but I can absolutely see bangle bracelets, ornaments and letters and shapes made out of wire and set in resin. As a yarn store owner, many of my jewelry designs already combine fiber with charms and pendants. I would love to win this and hope to be able to buy some!
Very cool product! I would mix the wire with vintage spoons to make a layered bracelet. I also like the way you wrapped the ‘tube’ pendant-I would add the wrapped tube to some old coins for a great boho necklace!
Wow. This wooly wire looks very cool. I’d love to play with it and see what kind of fun I could create.
I’d like to wrap some partially enameled rings with wooly wire.
I would LOVE to wrap Nunn Designs channel bangles! Ooh, the possibilities… 🙂
I love these, they are so much fun. I think it would really add an element into my jewelry. Love it.
I have never seen this product before, but am excited to try it!
bracelets!
This would make a fabulous bracelet! Love the texture it adds.
A bracelet
See so many possibilities in using this wooly wire. Love making bracelets and other types of jewelry.
I would love to try this wire as a tie on my Mary Jane slipper ornaments, and as a wrap to hollow bead ornaments. I think it would be perfect, and the colors would complement the silkscreen beautifully.
Thanks for bringing attention to the new product! There are so many possibilities. I create with polymer clay and metals. I must get some of this woolywire.
I would love to wrap pendants!
This looks like a great product! Would be fun to make cocoons and wire wrap with the wooly wire.
Hello, I think I would use wooly – wire in my new triple design bracelets. I have been working on a design.
Thank you,
Cheri
I would love to wrap a cameo with this or maybe even try elf ears…
It would look really cool wrapped around the tiny books I make.
The Wooly Wire is gorgeous. I would love to make a project linking my handmade resin cabochons with Nunn Design bezels resin or epoxy clay filled with complimentary designs creating a chain of them for either a bracelet or a necklace. The Wooly Wire would be a good unifier for the concept.
I would love to try using wooly wire to make a lamp shade 🙂
Would love to try making a bracelet with it
I would love to try some bangles for my niece.
Thank you for the opportunity.
I love to have the softness of fabric mixed with metal! I can’t wait to try this product!!
These wooly wires look incredibly fun to work with! I can see fun colorful bracelets!!!!
i would love to integrate WoolyWire into the memory wire bracelets that I am making. I would also like to see if it coils for bead making! It is so beautiful.
Found objects!!! What fun this would be!
what gorgeous colors!!!! I love that the wool is wire-wrapped so you can manipulate in jewelry….in bezels and chain…and use it in mixed media projects when you want to add the perfect splash of color.
I’d like to try making a design out of seaglass and the wooly wire greens as a seaweed bracelet or necklace centerpiece … I think it would be quite interesting to use the ww to make jump rings, etc to hold everything together in a much softer form than mere metal. copper is one of my favorite metals to use … so nautical!
I forgot to mention that I’ve been incredibly successful making chart and map jewelry using Nunn Design’s step-by-step instructions for pouring resin. thanks so much for this!!!
Love the wooly wire! I might just wrap myself in it!
Very Cool! 🙂
I’d like to make stars and other shapes for the Christmas tree.
The new wooly wire looks like an exciting addition to the many wires that are available today. Looking forward to working with it.
I have always wanted to try Woolywire. It looks like a lot of fun and I believe would add a new dimension to my jewelry.
Oh what fun it would be to play with wooly wire! I love adding texture to my jewlery!
I love wooly wire! They have such wonderful color combinations!
Very nice.Never used it,would love to use WoolyWire on a bracelet.
I love Wooly Wire and just posted a project on the Art Bead Scene showing how to make wrapped beads with Wooly Wire, sari ribbon and copper wire: http://artbeadscene.blogspot.com/2014/11/tutorial-tuesday-wooly-wire-wrapped.html
I have heard of wooly wire before but have never had the time to enquire into it before. Would love the chance to have a play. I enjoy jewellery making and mixed media work and it could be incorporated into both of these.
Can’t wait to try wooly wire on my jewelry projects!
I’d like to use small bits of WoolyWire in earrings. It looks great and is very unusual.
I would love to incorporate wrapping WoolyWire into wrapping a gemstone cab. That would be awesome and completely original I think. Thank you WoolyWire and Nunn Design for the giveaway.
I have been looking at the wooly wire for a while, now, but haven’t tried it.. I would love to use it in some wintery bracelet designs!
Would love to try some wooly wire on my new line of polymer rings…..color and texture together at last.
I would use it to make elaborate wire wrapped pendants. What colorful curlicues I could make!
I love this! I would make bracelets and bracelets and more bracelets with this product!
This wire looks like great fun to work with, especially with winter fast approaching!
Cheryl,
I will use wooly wire as the base for a bangle braclet. I can see some interesting chunky beads in addition to the charms from Nunn Design.
Just started playing with yarns and wrapping beads so this is perfect! Love it!
Wow, I love how you used woolywire in your designs! I would love to mix it with metal chain and links, and some type of cabachon or pendant. Thank you for the contest, and for sharing your awesome ideas.
Curly-q charms. Too much fun!
I would love to make up the beads that were shown on Art Beads Scene!
What a great idea….whooly wire! Can’t wait to try it on my jewelry pieces!
I love these ideas – love the wooly wire but could not figure out how to use it before. Thanks! So I would do something like your pendant structure where its in the bezel and around the tube.
Kathy
i haven’t tried the wooly wire yet, but have an idea for a necklace.
Wow! More toys to play with! Whoever thought of this stuff was a genius!
This stuff is awesome! I love all the color play. Thanks for being so generous!
i would def make amazing bangles with Woolywire. I love the texture and colors it adds to my design element.
What a great thing.. Love the multi use of the product 🙂
You are very generous. I can see so many possibilities with this in mixed media use. Something faery like and ethereal comes to mind for me.
I love making earrings so that’s what I’d make!
I would love to incorporate this gorgeous wooly wire into necklace creations that use beads, chain and sari silks, perhaps incorporate some micro-maille into the mix as well. The possibilities are endless I think. Thank you for the great giveaway !! ~peace 🙂
Would be a fabulous component in my altered shotgun shell pendants – add a little softness!
