Lace Wire - Opaque

This wire begins as a .2mm copper wire. It is then coated with an opaque coating, and a clear coat. Opaque coatings tend to be slightly thicker than bare, enameled or supa wires. This wire is known by many names such as magnet wire, craft wire and enamelled wire. What makes this wire suitable for lace is its "hardness" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardness or lack thereof.
