Proper Cotton Wire
#3

Try an auto restoration specialty house, one that makes wiring harnesses. There are at least three in the U.S...

Most wire is a 16 carrier cotton, rayon, linen or silk braid. Color change is 16 carrier bobbins. There are textile specialty suppliers for pre-loaded yarn that supply these braiders.

Problem is there is such an endless variation to braiding that the overhead in materials is often not cost effective. It takes someone with deep pockets to keep up a braid shop...
