Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects?


I am thinking of trying my hand on building some DIY interconnects. It will be balanced (XLR) and 10 feet long. I have seen interconnects made with thin 30 gauge wire, is there an advantage using super thin gauge wire?
I was thinking of using 20 gauge but is that too thick for interconnects?

I know this not super helpful, but 47 labs made a IC kit using single strand of what I think is 26g. It is a great cable, better than all the audiophile entry level cables I have tried, in that it has great tone throughout the whole frequency band. The caveat is that it has to be cut under two feet otherwise the bass rolls off badly.
