Another solution is to take the "zip" cord and pull it apart, chuck two ends in a variable speed drill and turn slowly, it will make a very nice twisted pair out of any guage. Just be sure to use a length longer than what you need as it looses length as it is twisted of course. To keep it in a tight twist I use small pieces of heat shrink spaced along the wires at intervals. I suppose one could use a piece of heat shrink over the entire wire if you wanted.
