• This is from a woodworking forum on making handles but same principle would work for steam lines:

• This guy is a little out there, but he’s made a few videos on wrapping handles. Looks like a similar technique

• Oh yeah, the whip finish. It's also used on old hickory shafted golf clubs. To finish tying
  fly's and to wrap guides on fishing poles and fly rods. I never thought of lagging steam
  lines.

• Hi Frank,
  
  It is the system I use and then paint them white. It does work you can just about keep you finger on the lagging when the pipe has steam in it.
  
  Take care Tony.

• Good PM from Brooklyn...
  
    Regarding steam line lagging.  Has anyone tried using
  cotton cord, say 1/8" (sash cord), as lagging?  It does
  insulate ....some.  I did cover it with aluminum sticky
  tape. 
  
    So, I'd like some lagging that works a bit better without
  looking fat and out-of-proportion when on these steam lines.
  Video link follows...

    Is it me or does this lagging make the steam line look fat?
  It's ok, you can be brutal.
