Not sure what is going on but Thorbear is correct ......

The higher the number the thinner the wire.

I have 32, 30, and 28 gauge right in front of me. 32g is the thinnest then 30 and then 28 which is super stiff.

Sound like you have gotten the wrong thing or something was miss labeled. 32 is as fine as a piece of hair.
I prefer 30 because its a touch stiffer and and lower resistance.

The thicker the wire the lower the Ω so you will need more wraps.
