Search the internet for:
asphalt coated wire loom
Many places sell it
I have rolls of the stuff in about 7/16 and 1 inch but it’s very far from you
Rhode Island wire might sell it too but I couldn’t find it listed but call them if placing cotton covered wire orders

Edit: and to tape up the old asphalt loom I suggest Renfrew brand cloth hockey tape, it’s tough as nails sticky as heck and flat black to match the loom
Not all cloth tapes are equal and you won’t be disappointed with its sticky holding power.
