If you want fine stranded wire, go to a welding supply shop. It is available at Lowes.
Interesting, never seen that offering at my local Lowes or Home Depot.
Have to go to a Tractor Supply store in my area for welding cable, do have a Rural King in my area, but don't recall seeing welding cable in that store (although they do have arc welding supplies there).
But you do make a good point, welding cable is very flexible and most places that sell arc welding supplies and welding cable will also have the lugs (although one would need the proper crimper to make a good solid crimp, crushing via pliers won't cut it).
Another very flexible wire with fine strands is called "stage lighting" cable, might be able to find that in a electrical supply shop (places where electricians go to buy their electrical supplies, most electricians do not depend on Lowes or Home Depot).
Shame the OP can't get mail order items, that would simplify getting the oddball items which are not typically carried in retail consumer outlets.
