Ho much do you need? How big?

Square (well, nearly square, the corners are not sharp) copper wire has=20
been used to wind transformer cores. Long ago I ended up with the last=20
of a spool of the stuff. It is ~1/8" square, insulated with a thread=20
wrapping.

If you'll be wanting a lot of it, consider getting a drawplate and=20
making your own.
