26 gauge cloth covered wire - supplier - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Can anyone recommend a good supplier of 26 gauge cotton-covered wire for making a couple of simple hank-wound coils?

I have found this supplier http://wires.co.uk/acatalog/dcc_wire.html supplying 125g of 0.45mm for £13.08 (includes shipping), but wondered if anyone knows of a better supplier?

Thanks

I have used 'wires' before, worked for me, why not use good old (new) enameled wire obtainable from Maplin.

That price looks about right for the type of wire you want, and for small quantities you would struggle to do better.
