Astral highway, I would avoid twisting this 2mm wire. Bring a straight length out bent perpendicular to the former surface, make the loop and a straight section back in with another sharp bend to get the wire back into the correct position to keep winding. Have the straight sections leading to the loop touching each other and if you wanted you could solder them together on the straight section too (if the enamel was removed there) to stop the loop pulling apart as you continue to wind the coil.
