I use ipod charger cable wire. It's super thin, easy to work with, cheap ($2 or less, ebay, china) and you get 4 different colors in a 3.4 ft cable.
Good for all small solder point projects.

I have so many broken ones of these lying around. Thank you.

The ultimate "salvaged from something lying around the house" wire is an old printer Parallel port or large Serial port (like the 25 pin type) cable. Inside you'll usually find literally dozens of different colors of thin-gauge stranded-core wire. Stranded is better than solid-core for this type of stuff IMO. If the wires don't all have unique colors, they'll at least have unique markings, like the stripes on Cat5/6 wiring.
