First of all, it's beautiful. It's a dark brown with hints of copper or chestnut, very similar to the photo here. Each wire is covered with a thermoplastic insulator (PVC type) and wrapped in a fabric sheath. The fabric is quite shiny - it could be mercerized cotton or satin, but I think it's something other than cotton. The length was generous; I measured it at 30 feet 7 inches. It's great, I'm very happy.
