Description

Conundrum 2 bolts together Helm Chains. This sheet differs from Conundrum, as the connector rings pass through the large layered horizontal rings, as well as the horizontal rings that orbit the small sets. This sheet is therefore closely related to the Celtic Visions sheets, especially Celtic Visions Sheet 2, which simply has the individual chains lining up with each other rather than being offset.

This weave is less forgiving than Conundrum. In the ring sizes used in the sample, the large rings have the tendency to lean against one another, although mercyfully, they tend to alternate the direction in which they do this with each successive Helm Chain.

Four ring types are present in .040" (1.0mm) wire.
