I have copper wire to weave, but it is on the spools and i have yet to give myself the time to figure out how to keep it from kinking up when I weave. Do you have any tips and tricks?

For loom weaving, it depends on the gauge of wire. I find 28 or higher works best. I just wind the warp carefully and don't bend it while warping. The wire usually flows on and off the bobbins without a problem. Hope that's helpful to you. Good luck!
