Laurie Olson Blois, not sure, I’ve never crocheted around wire. I have four projects on the go, perhaps I’ll try after those.
Hey Janet Shelaga can you make this? I love it
I would recommend people use a combination plier that has a section for cutting wire and a separate section for crimping. You can even get jewelry crimpers that would leave the wire surface smooth, so the yarn doesn’t catch on the wire or the joiner after it has been crimped. What’s shown in the video may be called pliers; however, they look like wire cutter pliers. They are great for cutting the wire, not for crimping it.
~resource: me – I have an electronics engineering background and have used numerous tools for dealing with wire.
