Chain Maille ... No Longer Just For Knights

Weaves M-Z

 Mar 28, 2013    Maille Weave Stats

These lists are made up of both weaves I have personally done, or have on my To Do List. This means that some of these figures are based on experience, and others on theory and found sizes. The ring sizes in the Tested column show those sizes that have been tried and found to work.  The material used has also been listed.  The ring sizes listed in the Ideal Ring ID column are based on calculations and are therefore provided as a guide only to help you with your mailling.

They are a work in progress and will be updated and/or changed as time and experience permits.

Gauge Measurements used:

0.8mm (0.032″) = 20AWG = 21SWG
1.0mm (0.04″) = 18AWG = 19SWG
1.2mm (0.018") = 16AWG (BaseMetals) = 18SWG
1.29mm (0.051″) = 16AWG (Precious Metals)
1.6mm (0.064″) = 14AWG = 16SWG
