For more fun work with wire check out Donna Nova's Twist 'n' Curl. This wonderful wireworking tool is the basis upon which we designed the Twisted Kitz series. View the retail prices online.

In Donna's own words:
The Standard Twist 'n' Curl comes with a removable small round mandrel -- the same size as the one on the Heavy Duty model. This is the basic starting point to which one can add other sizes and shapes of mandrel using the handle that comes with this unit.

The Heavy Duty Twist 'n' Curl (formerly called the Original) has one mandrel permanently soldered to the cross-shank serving as the tool's handle. This version is suitable for individuals who wish to engage in wire work on a frequent basis, are hard on their tools, or know they never want to use any different size and shape mandrels.

For ultimate flexibility, there are many other mandrel shapes available that use the handle that comes with our Standard model: Round, Square, Triangle, Oval, Flat Rectangle, and Hexagonal. There are also two Rectangular Twist 'n' Curls with their own fixed handles. These shapes lend new horizons to your design possibilities!

At popular request, there are now smaller versions of the Twist 'n' Curltm! These Mini's are available as a set containing two sizes. The Twist 'n' Curl works with all gauges of wire. Of course, each gauge makes a different looking bead and the stronger your hands the thicker the wire you will be able to work comfortably. If your hands are less strong, start with the thinner wires and the smaller mandrel and work your way up. I like to work with wires from 18 to 28 gauge, with 22 and 24 being my favorite. [The larger the gauge, the thinner the wire: 20 gauge is thicker than 22.]
