There are countless youtube videos of winding guitar pick-ups, using both professional and amateur coil winders. The invariably place the feed spool on the floor, run the wire through their fingers and typically wind on 5,000 - 6,000 turns at fast speed, traversing the wire back and forth across the former by hand.

See comments about placing the wire spool on the floor at 3.25 in this video by a pro pick-up winder:
