Hi Kelly,

    Firstly a comment to whole group.... 

    I actually run classes teaching in the Viking knit technique,
    usually only takes an hour or two for my students to get the hang of
    it, the rest of the course is spent refining techniques and teaching
    the elaborations that are possible.... And yes it is all cold worked
    wire, although not one continuous strand. 

    Now for an answer to the original question.... 

    As to a source of dead soft karat gold wire try sfjssantfe.com (I
    assume you're in the US) they stock dead soft gold wires in 14K and
    18K yellow gold. That said their prices are a bit over market norms
    but not by much. 

Regards, Thomas (in Australia)
