Not listed as “silky on their site but “silky wire” is a common name for this 
kind of wire. Here is the description from The Wireman’s web site.

Known as ‘Invisible’ Toughcoat ‘Silky’, this 26 AWG, 19 strand 40% copper-clad 
steel (OD 0.020″) has the same jacket as #531 (nominal OD, 0.050″ including 
0.015″ jacket) but is also super small for that ‘low profile’ antenna or pocket 
‘weekender’ long wire. Weighs less than one pound per 1000 feet! Not 
recommended for 160 meters. Note the low break strength and use accordingly. 
Price is per foot.
