Now, the smaller rolls are called "tie-wire"--used for tying re-bars in
place before encasing in concrete---bldg supply stores should have it.

Say, Larry. Where does one get a spool of bailing wire? Many, many
years ago I worked the back end of a hay bailer or two that used wire.
The wire came from a long cardboard tube and was straight as an arrow
till you put it into the divider board slots and it was pressed back
through the machine.

I haven't seen any new bailing wire in many years.
