Coiled Coil Calculator

Here's how it works:
1. Enter the desired finished length of your coiled coil.
2. Pick Inches or Millimeters
2. Pick the Gauges of wire you're working with.
3. Press Calculate.
4. The results will tell you how long that first coiled wire needs to be to make your finished coiled coil length based on your gauges of wire. And that's the part that we need to know. Yay!
In the example in these images, you can see that if I want a 2 inch finished coiled coil, and I am using 28 gauge for the first coil around 24 gauge core, and my final core is 20 gauge that I will tie onto the pendant with, then my first coil needs to be 8 inches long to get a 2 inch finished length on a 20 gauge final core wire.
