Wire thicknesses

Having had a gander here, I decided to measure the thickness of some of the spools of wire I have. I thought it would be useful to share this info:

Lagartun

- Extra Fine 0.07mm
- Fine 0.12mm

Ultra Wire

- Extra Small 0.12mm
- Small 0.2mm
- Brassie 0.23mm
- Medium 0.36mm

Of couse Maplin also sell 250g spools of plain coloured enamel-coated copper wire but it would seem to be more expensive than the equivalent from wires.co.uk.
