sleeving AudioNote tonearm wiring

Hello,
Recently tried newly purchased AudioNote silver tonearm wires on a couple of my arms (Ortofon RS-212D and Sumiko MDC800), I should say I was impressed in a positive way. Now I need to finish the project, I am going to install it into Sumiko. What I am looking for is some advise. I am planning to put either cotton or silk sleeve outside, if somebody can share a good distributor for cotton/silk sleeving material. Also, would be nice to read up / hear any thoughts on the procedure. In particular would love to hear opinion whether or not I should apply any extra insulation before it is put into the sleeve. The wire itself is already insulated of course it is not a bare wire but I was not sure.
Thank you,
Anatoliy

Frogman, sorry, didn't see the question about the wire source - yes, you are correct, it is the three stranded wire, consists of 3 twisted wires of 0.05mm, not sure about what's on top, I guess you are correct it should be the Polyurethane insulation, I am just not sure. Part number AN-WIRE-300 (I don't have diff colors though, all 4 wires same color).

Thanks, folks, I guess I am a t a good start thanks to your input.
Best Regards
A

Dear Raul, that is not correct, the insulation on the AN 300 tonearm wire is multiple coats of polyurethane, not Teflon.

Raul,

Audio Note's website shows it as being polyurethane insulation. See part number AN-WIRE-300 three quarters of the way down the page.
