I use the same cotton tube both below and above the Y split. The braid below and the two twisted pairs above the split are kept in place by the same heatshrink that keeps the sleeve in place.
Edit: the cotton sleeves are looser than a sleeve made of heatshrink would be, but the braides are closed at the ends and the wires are sufficiently rigid, so they don't unravel.
