Description: Includes weave descendant/s, history, flexibility, look/feel, and sample stats.
Description: Quickworm Chain is
Full Persian 6 in 1 Chain
with
European 2 in 1 Units
surrounding each section. If the European 2 in 1 Units were connected to each other, they would make a Box 4 in
1 Chain and the resulting weave would be Sandworm Chain. The top set of pictures display the inline form that is more stable
and uses stainless steel with 1 ring size: 16swg 3/8" rings are 8 in 1 or 4 in 1 with 6.47 AR. The bottom set of pictures display the
opposing form that is less stable and uses stainless steel with 1 ring size: 16swg 25/64" rings are 8 in 1 or 4 in 1 with 6.76 AR.
Quickworm is a naturally rigid weave in any form. 6.70 - 7.00 AR is needed for enough flexibility to make a bracelet.

Discover/Documenter & Date: This category gives credit to the person/people that discovered the weave and the date the weave was discovered. Picture proof and earliest known date of discovery is required. Discovery does not equal
ownership. All chainmaille weaves are open source, but we seek to give credit to those who contribute to the chainmaille community out of respect.

Minimum AR: This is an objective value. The smallest known aspect ratio that will work with this weave.
Minimum AR: 6.30
▼
Ideal AR Range/s: This is a subjective value. The aspect ratio range/s where the weave has been found to be functional.
Ideal AR Range/s: 6.70 - 7.00
▼
Maximum AR: This is an objective value and only applies to weaves that have an AR lock feature.
Maximum AR: N/A
▼
AR Lock: If a weave has a dramatic new look or is structurally different simply because of a change in aspect ratio, it has an AR lock feature.
AR Lock: No
▼
Chiral: Does the weave have right/left handed versions?
Chiral: No
▼
Prime: Does the weave have one ring size and consistent ring ratio?
Prime: No
▼
# of Ring Sizes Used: Ideally, how many rings sizes are used to make this weave?
# of Ring Sizes Used: 1
▼
Consistent Ring Ratio: Does each ring in the weave connect to the same number of other rings?
Consistent Ring Ratio: No
▼
Ring Ratio: How many rings does each ring connect to? Value must be constistent thoughout the weave to be noted. Described as "x in 1" in the title/name of the weave.
Ring Ratio: 8:1, 4:1
▼
Strength: A subjective value that determines resistance to breakage. Determined from minimum AR of the largest rings used.
<3.00 AR = Highest
3.01 - 4.00 AR = High
4.01 - 5.00 AR = Medium
5.01 - 6.00 AR = Low
>6.00 AR = Lowest
Strength: Lowest
▼
# of Rings/Repeating Section: This category does not apply to units. How many rings does it take for the pattern to repeat? Determined from the same ring position and orientation.
# of Rings/Repeating Section: 8
▼
Cross Section: This only applies to chains. The shape the weave has when an imaginary cut is made perpenticular to its length.
Cross Section: Square
