I've used solder braid for connecting stuff when I wanted something really
thin and flexible, so it does work, but you can get equipment wire which is
more flexible than normal which may be a better bet - it has lots of much
finer strands.

Though you mention the wire breaking where it's soldered to the board,
which sounds like you need strain relief. I tend to use a bit of hot glue
for this when I solder wires to boards - it has the advantage of a bit of
flex itself, so you're not just creating a new stress point on the wire.
