Parallel wires work fine for winding chokes. There's no need for 
shielding -- the field from the choke is confined to the core.

At least half of the chokes in my station are wound with a pair of 
Teflon insulated #12 stranded silver-coated copper wire. The rest are 
wound with RG400. The Cookbook includes data for #12 THHN as a lower 
cost alternative.
