Default Source for spring wire

I'm looking for a source for some 32 AWG* phosphor bronze spring wire.
Either in or near Seattle or mail order. I need at most 50 feet (that will
provide some allowance for a few experiments).

Alternately, a locksmith supply that will sell some springs for pin and
tumbler locks (which is what I'm trying to rebuild).

* 0.008 inch, 0.202 mm



Strip the outer shell from a bronze wrapped guitar string?

It's a size used for high E strings as well.
