I guess it depends on how fine the wire, and size of your spool. It
would have to be very thin wire if you're breaking it by hand-winding,
so I'm reminded of when I tie flies (don't ask)... 

If the spool is close to the correct size, you could buy a "fly Tying
Bobbin". They have inserts to avoid cutting/breaking the thread, but
will work with wire. You adjust the tension by pulling the feet apart,
but there's a limit to how big the spool can be....

I think you can also get adjustable fly-tying bobbins, which might work
with larger spool sizes. And I'm sure you can hack one up to make it
work with your spool...
