No, not twisting. Interleaving is simple. Pass one wire through each 
hole, then pass the other wire through each hole. Keep alternating 
until all the windings are done. As I remember, one winding has more 
turns, so start with that wire first.

This is different from the original manual, which suggests you wind one 
layer, then the other.
