After designing a really gorgeous bracelet and writing a tutorial for it, I realized there were some obstacles
to estimating how much wire I needed for my coils. For accuracy, I sometimes measure in metric lengths,
and since I was raised in the U.S., I sometimes measure in Imperial units – inches and feet.
Converting back and forth to find my material needs can be frustrating – and I realized first hand the
issues different members of our crafting community face.
So in an effort to make this a little bit easier – I have gathered several pieces of information in one place.
There are charts for the common wire gauges in American Standard Gauge (AWG) from 30g to 0g showing
the gauge measurements in both inches and mm.
There is also a chart showing metric mandrels from 2mm to 10mm in quarter increments and the
diameter (gauge) converted to inches.
Finally, I have put together tables showing the length of wire needed to make coils of any gauge wire into
coils around any size mandrel from 30g through 10mm.

Follow the links below to some incredibly comprehensive conversion charts showing both
American Wire Gauge (AWG) and Standard Wire Gauge (SWG) in very small gauges and their
respective numeric values in inches and mm.

(my heartfelt thanks to my friend Heike Upmann for this information to help my metric-loving friends –
you rock, lady!!)
The calculations in the following tables were performed with numbers to the 4th decimal before rounding.
This represents an approximation ONLY – and should be used ONLY as a guideline. There is no
guarantee of absolute accuracy – so continue to use your best judgement.

Yes, I know some of these seem unrealistic – for instance, 16g wrapped around 28g.
I included them for laughs – all of us can use more of those. :^D
Besides, you never know when you might need a core wire that simply unifies a piece, holding Weave A
to Coil B or a coil that acts as a conduit to invisibly carry a wire from point A to point B.
***The numbers in the tables have been rounded, and therefore should only be used
as a rough guideline.***
No allowances were made for individual tension, space between wraps, or the obvious diagonal lean of
the coil.
Have fun!
