Hi Kukulz,
I'll see if I can find an online picture.
Freddy,
That wrapping might suffice, but I guess the question is why you're wrapping it. It's not quite proper Chinese, but it might do if all you want to do is swing the blade. If this is the case, I'd suggest testing it by working out with the blade, as string wraps can be a real nuisance when they come loose.
The other concern (which I'm sure you've thought about, is that cotton can trap moisture close to the blade and promote rust. Hopefully someone here will have a suggestion about how to prevent that.
Best,
F
