Thank to Joepieâs kind efforts, I was finallyâafter a lot of searchingâable to find the âWhite Coated Metal Ring For Craftsâ20cm/Metal Wire & Craft Hoopsâ. They can be found through Amazonâbut in Britain only! If you want them in the US, you can find them, but instead of costing 1.90 you will have to pay over $40 for the same thing.
The suggestion that one might use lampshade rings is unfortunately not a useful one, as they are made of a lighter wire than is used in these rings. It is easy to find brass ones of the correct size (3mm thickness of wire) but Lynâs idea that they could be painted wouldnât work for me. I have no idea where I got my first three ringsâin a set of 3â, 5â, and 8â diametersâbut it may well have been at one of the congresses where suppliers display so many delightful treasures. In any case, perhaps a supplier on Arachne might be able to check for availability in the US and perhaps elsewhere. Thanks again to all who wrote with suggestions.
