Much more then that and there was a big spike in the resistance in the winds. Gotta love good test equipment.

The answer is yes. It increases both inductance and capacitance as compared to loosely bound parallel wires.
Yes, good test equipment is nice to have. All I ever had belonged to my employer though. It allowed me to design and test 2.5GHz signal traces in 20 layer boards. The newer transmission line driver chips that came out before I retired from it let 5GHz signals pass over those same traces.
