We carry Remberance brand Memory Wire by Beadalon. It is made from Stainless Steel that has been tempered to permanently retain it's shape, size and "springy-ness".
All sizes of Memory Wire come in pre-packaged, 1 ounce packages. We currently carry only the silvery (steel) colored wire that Beadalon refers to as 'Bright'. The approximate number of loops that you will get in a 1 ounce package is listed with each size. The diameter is also approximate and can vary about +/- 1/4". Memory Wire is made of steel. It is very hard and should be cut with heavy duty pliers, or with a special Memory Wire shear that is sold on the Hand Tools page.
Memory Wire ends are sold near the bottom of this page. Other end finishing suggestions are also supplied.
Upon updating the website, we separated some items that were previously categorized together.
