I want to make a colour changing sign. I got the idea from the fibre optic xmas trees. Each letter will be made up of a load of fibres and the colour will gradually change through a colour wheel.

I cant find any on the net apart from really expensive data transfer cables. All I want is the really thin strands than reflect light through them. Anyone know of anywhere I can get my hands on any?
