These 2 kinds of wire fall into the Medium Temper category. It sits halfway between dead soft\soft (like Artistic and Craft Wire) and Half Hard wire. It is easier on the fingers and more forgiving than Half Hard but holds its shape better for more complex wire-wrapping projects.
German Wire is considered the highest quality and used by professional jewelry designers. It is made in Germany to the strictest standards. It is available in round, half round and square styles.
German-Style Wire is an excellent quality also but a more economical option. You will find many artists using it for precision work.
TIP!! Don't snip both of the zip ties on the wire card. If you leave one it will contain the wire. Just gently unspool what you need.
