What is the Hoodoo Chainmaille weave?
The Hoodoo Chainmaille weave is considered a Mage/Mobius Chainmaille technique. Most experienced beginners will be able to master this technique by learning to pass jump rings through other jump rings and/or O-Rings in the proper configuration. This weave sits up slightly in a unique but easy pattern. It is ideal for bracelets and bands.
Who is the mastermind behind the Hoodoo Chainmaille weave?
The original contributor of the Hoodoo Chainmaille weave is Blaise Hartley.
How is traditional Chainmaille converted into Stretch Maille?
One of the most exciting aspects of the Hoodoo Stretch Bracelet is its conversion of traditional Chainmaille into Stretch Maille. This transformation allows for a more comfortable and flexible fit, making it perfect for everyday wear. The addition of stretchy materials enhances the overall look and feel of the bracelet, creating a piece that is as functional as it is stylish.
