Wraparound sleeves formed by weaving, knitting or braiding for the protection of elongated articles, such as cables and hoses, are disclosed. The tubes are provided with closure means comprising multifilament, bulky yarn interlaced along one marginal edge of the sleeving material and of Velcro hook tape or other hook type elements disposed along the other marginal edge. In one embodiment of the invention, the interlaced multifilament, bulky yarn is disposed along both marginal edges with the Velcro tape fastened to one side of the bulky yarn on one marginal edge. Intermediate bands or rows of multifilament yarn may be provided so that to accommodate bundles of irregular cross-sectional tape. When the sleeving material is provided in rolls, the hooks on one side of the web interengage with the bulky multifilament yarn surface exposed on the other side of the web so that the web is held in rolled up form except when deliberately unwrapped.
