How many turns can I get?

looking for advice

ok, so I am making a rotor with 9 coils with an inside diameter of about 1" and I would like to know about how many turns could I get out of each coil with 6lbs of #13 AWG magnet wire. Looking at the spool (which I just got today) I am thinking that I can get the 80 or so turns that I originaly intended for, but I'd like to ask some of you guys so as I don't get to one last coil left and run out. Thanks!

(User Info)

4.7 lb of your wire should be about 100yds, so your 6 lb should be about 127 yds.

If you can make an estimate of the mean length of your turn you can check. You haven't given enough details but I suspect you can do it.
