The THNN wire that is available at the local home depot is solid copper, not 
stranded. Comes in several colors.  Never seen it in stranded.

Every big box store (Home Depot, Lowe's) where I've ever shopped stocks, at a minimum, black and white 500 ft spools of both solid and stranded THHN in at least #14, nearly always #12, and most also stock #10.

I used to use #10 stranded for dipoles, but the stretching issue made me switch to #8 stretched. :)
