Wire crochet is not easy because wire has a mind of its own! But I found that I could make consistent wire loops quickly once I discovered
the looms from Yoola Design. You can start off with chains but her looms makes things a lot easier. It takes some practice but once there, wire crochet becomes quite enjoyable. I have over the years created some new designs of my own. My first effort was a
bead embellished ring, then bracelets - see
here and a
unique pendant.
But you do not have to create something innovative when you are just learning. Yael Falk, the designer and inventor of the looms, has great PDF + Video tutorials. She is actually giving away this
marvelous set of 6 tutorials, worth $92 to one lucky winner.
What I really like about this ISK (invisible spool knitting technique) is its versatility. I loved how Yael created her
little wire Christmas tree tutorial.
She recently added
giant looms to her tool section which can be used to make wire mandelas! They look great in simple IKEA frames as wall art. She
shared her wire color combination here. I would consider making the mandela and wiring them to a large hoop.
Yael has a truly creative mind. She recently
shared in this blog post more ways to use her looms. You can combine more than one. Or slice one so you can make interlocking pieces :
My favorite is this clover-like design. Looks like a lacy coaster!
