Roundmaille is easily one of my favourite jump ring chains! Essentially it’s European 4:1 chainmaille worked into a round tube.

There are some very good tutorials available for making roundmaille, in particular this one from Derakon on The Ring Lord’s website.

One of the things I’ve found difficult (and my students have definitely struggled with) is how to set the rings up at the start. This video shows you a quick and ease tool you can make to help you get your roundmaille started. You’ll spend less time fiddling and more time weaving!
