Reading your suggestions as to what French Wire, is I am wondering if it is
the wire that is used by the Maltese to make their beaut thread flowers. I
have just started teaching a Maltese lady BL, and she brought a couple of
framed pieces of her other work - these special Maltese flowers. As she
described it, - she threads a plain wire through this spiralled wire (? the
French wire), and then the coloured threads pass between the spirals and sit
on the plain wire core. This way the threads are separated, and you see what
looks like a silver bead at the top (the spiral wire). When you bring the
ends of the wire together to form the round petal, the spirals open a bit.
Her work was SO pretty. She is finding it hard to get the wire here in Oz -
so next time she comes for a lesson, I will suggest she ask for French wire,
and see if that is what she needs.
