Today, I want to share my experience with two different techniques for weaving names. Let's dive into the details!
1️⃣ Technique 1:
I started by taking a piece of wire and carefully weaving it into the shape of each letter. I made sure not to clamp all the bends tightly, allowing the thread to pass through the curves smoothly. The wire I used was Silver Aluminum Wire, 2.5mm/10 gauge, and the thread had a light density (3). However, I noticed that the thread had a tendency to twist, requiring me to untwist it from the beginning to the end of each curve.
2️⃣ Technique 2:
"In search of a more efficient method, I explored this technique. I began by wrapping the thread around the wire while it was still in the coil. Once all the thread was in place on the wire, I immediately started weaving the name, adjusting the thread to the desired lower position. This approach proved to be faster and more manageable for me. With time, I realized that there was no need to cut a piece of wire from the coil base, which helps save extra materials and effort. Furthermore, I began to keep track of how much thread I would need for each name to avoid excess and save time. For example, I noticed that for writing capital letters, I require approximately 4.5 turns around my palm, and for lowercase letters, it's about 2.5."
If you've experienced different techniques or have any tips to share, please let us know in the comments below. Let's inspire and support each other on our weaving journeys!
Additionally, on my channel, you can find four numbered tutorials that will take you through the complete technique from start to finish.

I used a rubber jar opener to hold it in place when I attached it to my craft table. Works great.

Hi, it is Prym. And you can find good details on my 1 lesson: Comparing Knitting I-Cord Machines. ☺️

[@ApikDai]

Did you make your own i cord?

[@DecorFromLidiya]

Yes, I did it with knitting machine I-cord; you could find more information about that in my videos

[@ApikDai]

@@DecorFromLidiya can I make this cord without crochet machine??

[@DecorFromLidiya]

yes, using hooks, you can find many videos of other people making such cords, and you can also look for a ready-made macramé cord (they have a padding core inside that is easy to pull out, and you can do the same job
