The scale present in instrument boxes cannot be used for measurement of the diameter of a thin wire.
Generally, the least count of such scales is 1 mm, which is much greater than the diameter of common wires. Moreover, since it is mass-manufactured, there is a chance for accuracy and precision errors to creep in. Also, the instrument may not be properly calibrated.
To calculate the diameter of a thin wire, we use instruments like the screw gauge or vernier caliper. They are best suited for calculating such small lengths with greater precision and accuracy than other instruments.

Answer:
Yes first you have to would the wire around the scale of 10cm and count the number of turn of turn it the if you divide 10cm by number of turn which give the thickness of wire.
