Does anyone know where I could get some cloth covered wire that is flexible, like stranded wire? In 20 or 22 GA wire.
I wish to simulate rope that is actually wire, to use in my harbor scene. Any ideas? Thanks.

Antique radio parts suppliers carry it. Plus you can get it on ebay
Using stranded cloth wire to represent harbor rope sounds like an ingenious solution.
Thanks for the input, I'll check out radio wire.
You might want to consider EZ Line from Berkshire Junction (Berkshirejunction). It stretches and comes in multiple colors.

these people carry cloth covered super flex in black. I think it is #22.

That is a very interesting product. I will have to consider it for my telephone polls. But what I need is actual current carrying wire.
Jeff at The Train Tender carries 24 gauge cloth covered wire in black, red, green and yellow colors.

Thanks to all for these suggestions, I have looked into all of then thus far.
An alternative home brew solution that might work depending on your requirements:
Most shoe laces are cloth and hollow. Find some shoe laces, cut off the tips, and run your regular wire through.
