where to find 32 awg stranded wire?
I checked the pinned suplies post but couldn't find what I needed. I haven't done well with google finding a couple of places that will sell 5 or 10 feet for $5 to $8 dollars.

I think the smallest I have is 28 AWG and its solid.

I wanted to get a substantial amount in multiple colors if possible for wire wrapping/soldering projects.
I have no idea if these guys are good, but this is what I have found so far:

Radio Shack is my source; the selection of colors isn't too good but the price is okay. I don't think you're gonna find stranded wire for use in wire-wrapping applications.

I have some 30 AWG solid if you can use that, 5 feet of each?

Mouser has it. Just go through the catalog system - find single conductor wire, set the wire gauge and filter it to exclude the non-stranded stuff, and you'll see a bunch of options. It's not exactly cheap (around $40 or more for a 100 foot spool) but it's well worth it if you need to wire up something that's going to get moved around a lot.
I use 30 AWG stranded wire a lot. I would say it's a lot more resilient than single-strand wire (in terms of how well it stands up to being bent and re-bent) - but the solder joints at the ends tend to be weak spots, and the wire is harder to work with than single stranded wire.
