About Choosing the Gauge

16g and 18g round rings are generally the easiest rings to weave, so they're usually the best sizes for learning a new weave and for beginners.

Tiny 26g and 24g rings are challenging to weave, as are heavy 12g and 10g rings, and all shaped rings (square, diamond, etc.) so we recommend avoiding those until you're an experienced mailler.

Prices shown below are per inch of chain.

About This Weave

Skillset: Apprentice

Weave Difficulty: Pretty easy if you know Byzantine and Flower Chain.

Such a simple combination of two weaves (Byzantine and Flower Chain) might not normally get a weave name of its own, but this one is so lovely and elegant and neverendingly useful that it warrants a name of its own, if only for expediency in frequent reference.

Below are the instructions for Byzantine Rose. They'll only make sense if you already know Flower Chain and Byzantine, so tackle both of those first.
