Wheel wrap

Hi all
I don't know if I am posting this in the right place or not but here goes.
I have an E-35 Mk II with a 40" wheel. Here in southwest British Columbia it gets very cold on the hands during our Fall Winter and Spring racing seasons.
My question is this...there are lots of web sites with leather wheel wraps available but I have seen some wheels that have been wrapped by their owners with marline that look very cool...not to mention nautical. Does anyone out there know how this is done to create a nice finished look with perhaps a Turks Head knot at the top centre when the rudder is midships and no exposed ends showing?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Pat, I'll bet what you've seen is the French whip as shown in the Ashley book of knots #3450. I found an example of it here: http://home.tiscali.nl/knotsandknottying/takelingen.htm Go for it, Glyn Judson, E31 hull #55, Marina del Rey, CA

Brion Toss has the knot for the king spoke in his book, a three legged turks head. Looks awesome!
