Hi John,
 
I believe that real Litz wire is interwoven to further reduce the skin 
effect, but I have also seen it made of many small parallel conductors too.

Hi David,

<< Theoretically litz wire
could be home-made by paralleling many thin insulated
regular enameled wires.  If the wire is the Soldeze
type then enough heat would remove the insulation
at the ends so they can be all soldered together at
the ends.  I think some folks dip the ends into a pot
of molten solder to solder the ends.  Seems like a big
job though.  I think they use something like 36 or 38
awg wire for the individual insulated strands for
standard litz wire. >>
