I use this stuff from Rapid Electronics www.rapidonline.com/Cables-Connectors/7-0-2-Wire-on-100m-reels-plain-colours-502641

I've get 8 different colours, the plastic casing on it doesn't melt when you are soldering, and it's ridiculously cheap!

I tend to throw in a wire sampler pack from smallbear whenever I place an order there (their 24 gauge pack with ten different colours at 50 feet each.)

I have no idea whatsoever how many kilograms a feet is, but so far this plan of action is working out nicely.

Newark is the U.S. arm of Element 14, if I understand correctly. You can change the country at the top right corner of the webpage.
It is element14.  I think in europe they go by the name farnell.

Yes, they do, but the things I looked up on their site so far are very expensive compared to other suppliers we use!  :( Don't know about the wire though...
