Highlights

  • 100 m spool
  • 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm options
  • Copper-clad steel, per the title
  • Bendable for sculpting, floral and jewelry work

Best for

Crafters who shape floral stems, wire sculptures and handmade jewelry.

Things to consider

  • Copper-clad steel is springier than pure copper, so it holds a shape well but is harder to bend tight and can kink if overworked.
  • At 0.3 to 0.4 mm it is thin, so choose the thicker gauge for structure and the thinner for binding.
  • Delivery takes roughly one to three weeks, and Buyer Protection covers a spool that arrives short.

Frequently asked questions

Will it rust?
Copper cladding protects the steel, but cut ends expose steel and can rust over time in damp places.
What gauge is 0.4 mm?
It is about 26 AWG, which is thin and easy to bend by hand. The 0.3 mm option is thinner still and better for wrapping or binding.
Can I solder it?
Not stated. The copper coating can take solder, but test on a scrap piece.
