Fabric

What is that little wrap of fabric around the tuning end of the string?
Is it ubiquitous or just some brands?

The wraps are common for a few reasons:
-Wraps help to keep the string winding held together as it terminates.
-Wraps help to minimize metal to metal contact and thus reduces the wear on chrome tuners.
-Wraps can look cool!

Some string constructions don't need the silk, but it doesn't hurt and seems to only help by having it.
