Was a little surprised to see that Kingsley North does not carry gold filled or sterling silver wire for wrapping? (Or am I missing something yet again?)

I bought a bunch of stuff this morning from Berg's Rock Shop, but where do all of you shop for wire and wire wrapping supplies?

I'll check around more for wire. I started buying from them because I've been buying other stuff from them for a long time and trust them. I've been purchasing from Rio Grande for years, I just never thought to check there for wire.
Thanks for the tips!

Still looking though, will let you know if I find anything else.

I got my half-round on ebay, was the only place I could find 22 gauge half-round.
