I once used 22AWG stranded, plastic insulated hookup
wire to wind a 4.5" x 24" secondary.  The stuff went
on at about 20 turns per inch.  The finished coil
worked fine, although the resonant frequency was a bit
high.  On the plus side, the bright red plastic
insulation looked great after sealing with clear gloss
urethane.
