Lazee Daizee Viking Knit Wire Weaving Tool

You are going to love the  Lazee Daizee Viking Knit Tool! If you have ever wanted to learn Viking Knit Weaving or would like to make the process simpler, this tool is going to amaze you. The finish is similar to our Knitting Spools. The disk on the top of the tool makes it easy to create looped “petals”. From there, the length of the tool is a perfect guide to keep your loops uniform and even. The step-by-step instructions included makes everything foolproof.

You can used  24, 26, or 28 gauge Soft Flex Craft Wire with this tool. The tool will not damage or scuff your Craft Wire. If you would rather use Soft Flex Beading Wire, that works wonderfully, too! A draw plate will help you finish the finished design down to your preferred width. Getting started is easy, but you may make a few mistakes. The learning curve is short, though. You will be creating a beautiful weave while watching TV or talking to friends in no time.

2 New Trios Multi-Diameter Beading Wire Packs (Black and White)

We started the year with a bang. Sara made her first appearance on  Beads, Baubles and Jewels. She was featured on the first episode (2701) this season. Sara created a woven bracelet using our Very Fine diameter of our  Soft Touch Beading Wire. She finished the ends of the bracelet with Soft Flex Beading Wire. This inspired her to develop two new Trios Beading Wire Packs.

Trios Multi-Diameter Beading Wire Pack - Black

Trios Multi-Diameter Beading Wire Pack - White

Look at this gorgeous bracelet! This bracelet is a design that is an evolution from a project in  Seed Bead Revolution.

If you would like to create this wonderful piece of jewelry, or would like to use it as a template to create your own design, you can watch the video below and see how Sara made it. You can also purchase  Seed Bead Revolution, it is a fantastic read and a fun look into jewelry creation.

Trios Extreme Metallics Collection

This wonderful  Trios Beading Wire Pack was inspired by Nealay Patel's appearance on Beads, Baubles and Jewels. Episode 2709 features our good friend Nealay Patel, owner of SilverSilk and More using Soft Flex beading wire in a really neat and unusual way! His design entitled "Branching Out," pairs Silversilk (a knitted wire cording) with Soft Flex beading wire to make a unique look. Nealay is known for thinking outside of the box. His designs are always interesting and creative. Medium .019 Soft Flex beading wire was perfect for this project as it easily slips through the Silversilk and creates pretty branches that can be layered in a variety of lengths and colors.

We loved Nealay's color choices so much for this episode, we created a new Trios to match his design. Our Trios Extreme Metallics Collection looks so lovely. It is perfect for a design where you are really showing off the wire. Watch his fun appearance on the video below.

Trios Southwest Beading Wire Pack

For Sara's next appearance on  Beads, Baubles and Jewels. She opted to create a Southwestern flavored piece of jewelry. Sara had lived in the Sonoran Desert for twenty years. She recently moved to the Bay Area. This bracelet was inspired by her love for her former home. 

In this project, Sara used three colors of .019 Medium Soft Flex beading wire – Turquoise, Red Jasper and Citrine. You can also find all three of these colors in our Trios Southwest Design Collection. These colors really evoke the spirit of the Southwest! Watch her appearance below.

Trios Purple Rain Beading Wire Pack

It isn't a secret where this idea came from. This  Trios Beading Wire Pack was inspired by a glorious musical talent that made the eighties so fabulous. This princely Trios set is comprised of Purple Amethyst, 24k Gold Plated and Black Onyx color beading wire. We think it is a glowing tribute to a mystical musician.
