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. :)
