Leanne....sorry if this sounds rude (not meant to be) but if you have a few years of floristry ahead of you, why don't you just buy in a stock of all the available sizes...you will use them eventually and they won't 'go off'

Yeah! Just get it, you'll use it! The wires I have weigh more than I do!

hi, if the wire is too thin and dose not support what you need it to do , use 2 wires to help...... there can not be a set gauge for materials you use as they are different sizes and weight
saying that dont double stitch a leaf it will look naff, just use your gutt feeling and suck it and see!
