Taking a look at their website leads me to believe that the wire is not
annealed after drawing which would leave it harder than we want for bonsai.
Annealing your own works, but don't get the loose copper oxide in with food
stuffs or plants since large volumes can be toxic. I agree with Pauline
that Julian Adams is a great source in the USA.

Subject: [IBC] Copper Wire Source

Hello All,

Some time ago, back in 2003, there was a brief discussion on this List
about a source for annealed copper wire. I prefer copper wire over
aluminum because it seems to hold better. Has anyone had any experience
with the company called Parawire? Their web address is
www.parawire.com. They sell *soft bare copper wire*. I'm not sure
whether soft bare copper wire will be satisfactory especially rin the
larger diameter wire sizes. Any feedback will be appreciated.

With thanks,
