This listing is for one each of the high temp wire packages in 17 and 24 gauge. These wires remain strong in extreme heat of kiln firings and withstands high temperatures for long periods. Perfect for kiln firing for glass and ceramics. Both the 17g and the 24g spools contain 10 feet of wire each.
I use the 24g wire when I make wind chimes or need to fire a hanger into the glass. I use the 17g high temp wire for larger pieces.

Tip: To make hangers simply wrap wire around something that is the size of the hanger that you want. Personally, I use a pegboard hook. It's the perfect size for hangers. Wrap the wire about a half dozen times. Then, pull off and using cutters cut through all six wires. You'll be left with a perfectly round, ready to use hanger. Never try to attach a hanger to the top of glass. It must be sandwiched in between two pieces of glass in order to work. Use a fusers glue to attach it to the bottom piece of glass being sure to leave half of the hanger outside the glass area. Then, add the top piece of glass and fire. You'll be thrilled with the finished pieces.
