Twisted bugles are made by twisting the cane. Using smooth cane with a square hole causes the twist to appear only inside the bead. It is brought to notice by application of a silver lining.
If the cane is made with 4 or more sides, when it is twisted the twist appears on the outside of the cane. This is appropriate for opaque beads.
Twisted bugles look great as ladders and in fringes. They are hard to get because neither the Czechs nor the Japanese want to make them! They seem to think it's just too much trouble. Sigh....
ID & Sizing
There is no size consistency between
manufacturers, so we group our bugles by actual length in millimeters.
REMEMBER, under this nomenclature, the first digit refers to the
type of bugle: 5=round, 7=six-sided, 8=twisted
The next two digits refer to the length in millimeters, for example: 02=2mm, 30=30mm
| 6mm long SPIRAL Bugles these are more tightly twisted than normal "twisted" bugles, so they have a beautiful texture for their length The Spiral Bugles are available on a
