This steel wire covered in cotton thread is ideal for the millinery and flower-making industries. Its soft structure makes it very flexible and easy to handle, making it an excellent choice for shaping petals, leaves, decorative details and lightweight fascinator bases.

The cotton thread gives a non-slip texture that makes it easier to handle and stops it slipping when working with fabrics or decorative elements. In addition, its neat, professional finish makes it perfect for visible structures or projects that need a polished appearance.

It is also used in floristry, crafts, accessory making and stage design.

Cotton-covered wire is extremely versatile, malleable and lightweight, ideal for delicate, detailed work.
