Wanted Pirk Wires - Norwegian Style

[The Great Wallsendo]

Anyone got a good (cheap) source of wires for the Norwegian Style Pirk? (12oz)

Scoured t'interweb and am struggling to find them for less than £1.99 for 10 wires - which seems steep (or am I being stingy?)

Cheers in advance

Have been kindly sorted out on this one

I use fencing wire and have done for years now, it rusts after a season but to be fair pirks dont often make it longer than a trip or two.

Never had 1 snap, bend over or pull out, last roll from B&Q cost me £7 for 6m and still have half left after 2 years.
