pulling on soft-drawn copper wire is going to distort it
slightly so the measurement is going to be on the small
side. Snipping off ten or twenty short lengths, then
measuring the total width and dividing by the number of
lengths will be a bit better in accuracy.

Bumfuzzles me why you'd want to cut it up into a bunch of hard-to-handle
strands. Just wind it around a dowel as someone else suggested.
