Cracked flat wounds

Had a set of flats on about a week and had my first jam that weekend. The next day I noticed cracks on the bottom of the A string plucking zone (fingers and pick about 50/50). Almost like the windings were separated but only on the bottom. Odd to me, never had this happen in the past. I really can’t get a good pic.
They still sound good and it doesn’t bother me, it’s just new to me. Never used this brand of flats in the past.
Anyone come across this or have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
