I'm looking for some advice - I'm making a replacement lampshade, and I need two flat, round hoops.
I bought some 2.5mm wire and started making some hoops, but I'm now encountering the unsurprising issue of struggling to get it flat and round.
Does anyone have any hacks for doing something like this, or is it just going to be the tedious job of bend, check against template, bend back, swear, check again, etc?

I'd check on sportpursuit, there's always a bunch available and I got a merino one a few years ago I essentially live in.
It has gone a bit baggy, but it's worth it for me, and it'll take more time to thread my sewing machine then it would to put a line of stitches in to tighten it up. Next winter I will also get a fleece one for a bit more warmth when it's properly arctic out...
