Default Fleece "Envelopes"

Hi All,
Last year, after I had already trussed up my Cordyline with fleece
and string, I saw adverts for fleece "envelopes" which seemed to be designed
to cover cordylines and the like. Of course, now I have remembered about
them, I can't remember which catalogue I saw them in, or indeed what the
correct name for them is. Any clues urglers?

I bought some tubular fleece at a GC near me, this is what I use.

After searching a bit further I have discovered they are the cheapest at
£4.75 for a packet of 2. Other companies are selling the same thing for
£9.99! How can they justify that?

Or, for that matter, how do they justify £4.75 for a packet of 2??
Rolls of transparent bubble packing material and duck tape are dirt cheap.

Thanks Natalie, I still hadn't found an online supplier. I tried the glue
and sticking plaster approach last year and spent most of the winter tying
the bl**dy thing up again.

Why not buy some fleece at a gc and make your own envelopes with a stapler?

I just wrap the fleece around and tie with twine. The fleece can
expand to encompass the size of the plant/shrub as it grows :~))
