Only 'problem' is you get only one colour. Also look in stores that sell 'beads' for making jewelry. Found very interesting stuff at many of them (wire included).

Still suggest Maplins.Only you know what you want it for.At maplins you can see and feel before you buy.If it's for small PTN's then the smallest they sell is 50SWG. If it's good enough for Davy McPhail then it's good enough for me!
Good Luck.
