Chainmaille Project 104: Persian 3 in 1 Sheet

Chainmaille  Project 104: Persian 3 in 1 Sheet 5





Cost: $25 plus Materials

Length of Class: 2 Hours


Chainmaille AR: 
 Rings that work for normal Persian 3 in 1, will work here but will become compacted because you are linking through the base. You need to weave about 3 inches longer to compensate not only for the compaction but for evening the ends up. It is easier to remove unneeded rings than add more. 

Rings that Work:
Michaels 9 mm Jump Rings 24 rings per inch (fluid weave)
               7 mm Jump Rings 36 rings per inch
Ring Lord 18g 1/4" 30 rings per inch



Class Description:


In this class, we will take the Persian 3 in 1 and create a sheet of the weave for a wider necklace or bracelet. The 5 refers to the number of other jump rings passing through it.

Chainmaille 106: Persian 3 in 1



Chainmaille 106: Persian 3 in 1






Cost: $25 plus Materials

Length of Class: 2 Hours


Chainmaille AR:
       Tight: 3.75
       Best:4.1
       Loose:4.8

Rings that Work:
Michaels 7mm Jump Rings



Class Description:

Persian weaves are some of the most intricate patterns for chainmaille but the end product is stunning. The 3 in 1 Half Persian makes the Full Persian look like a walk in a park. Mainly because it is easy to get off pattern by simply putting it down to do something and picking it up wrong. To help, we will be using a start tool to get us going. This is a less dense weave than its sister/brother the 4 in 1 and unlike many weaves has a distinctive front and back.
