I salvaged some coaxial wire …it was so fine that it broke too easily.
As UTC UltraWire is the commonest wire used in flytying,
I measured the various sizes with a micrometer and these
are the results.
Large = 25AWG = 0.018thou = 0.455mm
Medium = 27AWG = 0.014thou = 0.36mm
BR = 32AWG = 0.008thou = 0.201mm
Small = 34AWG 0.006thou = 0.16mm
ExSmall = 38AWG = 0.004thou = 0.10mm
A thou is 1/1000 or .001 of an inch.
As a lot of the other sources of wire refer to various guages
and diameters, I thought this would be of use when buying
wire.
Good to know, thanks Donald.
Scott is right about the per yard price, but under five bucks for 30 yards with free shipping (Brad’s link) is terrific for someone like me. That length will probably last my lifetime.
