You got it

Hmmmm, would not be too hard to "invent" a wire squisher, like the clothes washing mangle of old. Two metal wheels, round wire fed through, flat section wire comes out. You can be responsible for the faceting process and adding the twist...... I only ask 50% of the profit. :lol: *chuckle*...

Old spool - will be a sad day when it runs out...

Not oval - but faceted wire

I guess they are both officially branded rubbish patterns then

*chuckle*

Eclectic fish you got there, Wayne

Chris,

I agree - very easy to tie with yarn. However, me the tier likes to see the tapered abdomen - not quite as easy to do with yarn.

Do the fish care? Likely not

Wayne,

Looking forward to hearing how you fare with them this weekend.

Cheers,
