Did You Know?
Elfweave is a variation of the mobius chain. For the best "drape" and consistency, your Aspect Ratio (AR = ID / Wire Diameter) should ideally fall between 4.5 and 5.5. Anything lower often creates a very tight, stiff chain, while anything higher may cause the rings to separate easily.
