LaserTazerPhaser:
The only retailer for insulated carbon steel or iron wire is mcmaster-carr but it only has 1 very small guage https://www.mcmaster.com/8867k25 ebay/amazon only shows uninsulated stainless wire.

Are there common uses for insulated iron or carbon steel wire which can be readily obtained?
helius:
Would something like derailleur cable be suitable for your application? That is easily obtainable, although the wire is loose inside its sleeve.
mikerj:
"Garden wire" (used for attaching plant stems to wooden stakes etc.) is cheap and available with PVC insulation, though it is usually galvanised steel.
LaserTazerPhaser:
Should be =>15m long shorter lengths would work also, are derailleur cables retailed in very long spools?

fence cable? https://www.rappa.co.uk/products/90-light-insulated-cable
a visit to local hardware store or supermarket may give wonder... i bought a spool many years ago when i move house, similar to garden wire you linked, except thicker and stiffer to use as cloth line. its also general purpose can be used to build fence, clean drainage in plumbing, hooks etc...
