This is an old tips and tricks but may help the younger tyers.
Electrical cords make an excellent source of fine copper wire. Cut your cords about 4-6 inches long and leave a short amount of the insulation to keep it all together. Pull out a strand when its needed.

That is a great tip for us beginner fly tiers on a budget. Thanks
Great tip. I use already used recycled electrical wire, but haven't tried leaving a little insulation on to keep it neat. Great idea.
A couple of electrical cords will yield many years of ribbing material and brassie flies!
