Soft Spring(s) - finding the right kind of "soft"

I would think that the "grain" of the metal would be important in winding a spring... as in the wire can't twist while its being coiled?

I know about this much ->. about springs
I have never paid that much attention, but based on observation with larger diameter wire springs I have wound, I would speculate that the wire actually rolls as the spring is being wound.
