Is the ribbon cable that stranded wire or solid??? And if stranded, does it make a difference in toroid s??? I've never used stranded in making them and have never heard if it makes a difference.... Seems like ribbon cable might be easier to wind...

I have a few rolls of what looks like 30ga ribbon cable. It was used in hard drives. I've posted pictures of it in the past but can't find them. It's my wire of choice for torroids. It was expensive though on the retail market.

Add to all this -- twist your windings and it makes it a lot easier to wind.

Ahem! elaborating for Sandeep..
Twisted pairs have lesser capacitance with the next turn or layer than untwisted pairs of wires AFAIK!
Twisted pairs in balanced configuration also reduces the stray signal pickup from nearby circuits/radiators.
