Hello Beth, I am trying to learn how to wrap stone. My Aunt wants me to wrap some stones her father, now deceased 1 year ago, polished when he was alive. My fear is the loss of them due to my lack of proper creation. Any advice on where or how I can learn this skill? Thank you, Debbie

You can go to a class at your local bead store, get a book like, "All Wired Up" by Mark Lareau, or go to Google and YouTube for instructional videos

Thank you! There are basic instructions on wrapping a caboshon in "All Wired Up" and other wire working books. The knitted wire is using a knitting spool I bought at Michaels. There are free instructional videos on line too, particularly for the knitting.
