One source for this type of wire is Deaborn searies SP / SPN wire.
It's decribed as 'solderable' meaning you don't have to remove the
insulation before soldering to it.

One source (and the best prices I've found) is Allied Electronics
(alliedelec.com). Wow, it's almost doubled in price in the last few
months with the copper prices going up.

I also have a stripper that works pretty good for wire-wrap wire.

HT Tools HT5023 is the one I like best and is only about $10 from
Jameco Electronics (Jameco # 159290).
