3-Needle Chain: Delicate Style
SilverSilk 3-Needle Chain joins the strength and beauty of metal with the intricacy of finely woven knit. You can use it to string size 6 seed and other large-hole beads, make warps on a beading loom, braid it with a Kumihimo disk, arrange it in resin, or simply use it as a singular jewelry chain. The open weave makes this chain drape wonderfully, and the space between the wires creates a lacy effect.You’ll love this imaginative addition to your jewelry making stash!
Delicate 3-Needle
How 3-Needle Chain is Made
Our precision SilverSilk knitting machine uses three needles to knit three extremely fine wires into a delicate-looking, durable chain. The 32-gauge, 99.9% copper wire is permanently enameled and is tarnish-resistant for long-lasting jewelry. The woven knitted wire chain is 1.5mm in diameter and does not have an inner core. 3-Needle chain comes as a 5-foot spool in a variety of magnificent colors and can be cut to any length.

Allow your piece to rest for 30 minutes to let the glue dry before wearing. For the cord crimp, gather up to five 3-Needle chains and insert them into the open end of the crimp. Use chain nose pliers to squeeze the center ring of the cord crimp for an instant, secure hold of the chains.
