Duelund 12AWG speaker wire sheathing

I bought four 2 meter runs of Duelund Wire 12awg (DCA12GA)Tin Plated Hook-up Wire. I am using bare wire connections for the amp and speakers. I would like any recommendations on sheathing material/tubing to run them parallel so it looks cleaner. Any reason not to have them touching? Any recommendations on material to use? I would also look any impressions of those who have used Duelund 12AWG.

I have a loosely twisted pair without any sheathing and am using the KLEI banana plugs.  They sound very good and several of our audio club members are also using the 12ga. wire.

I have used heat shrink at the ends and that's all I have needed. You can see my cables in virtual systems.  it's a loose twist on the Duelund since I didn't want any abrasion on the cloth wrap.

With the Duelund you need to be carful not to abrade the fabric covering.  I just had a person on the other end hold with the wires together while I carefully wound some loose twists.  Someone said you could start in the middle and wind opposite directions with a helper till you get to the end.  Didn't try that one.
