You can get it in Hobby/arts and crafts Shops. here it comes in bundles of 40 (or was it 80...I can´t remember) rods, each rod 20 cm´s Long. As far as I know it´s soft steel. I used to use the same type /thickness of wire that came on a roll but as you say it does bend a bit easier than the rods..maybe once it´s been bent on the roll it is easier to bend again?
