You could do what I did when I needed some enameled #8 wire.  I took the
bare wire, stretched it out between supports, and sprayed it with some
air-drying epoxy paint used for insulating motor windings.  A couple of
coats did the trick.  I let it dry a couple of days and them wound it on
my form.

I've done the same thing with #10 as well. I just strip the PVC
insulation from some regular electrical wire and paint it with the epoxy
paint.
