Insulation around pipes

Does anyone recognize these materials that seem to be wrapped around water pipes (I think they are), above the ceiling? The yellow inner part should likely be some form of fiberglass insulation or something similar, right? Around the yellow part is some kind of thin beige "paper". It looks like it is wrapped with some kind of thread. Is it common for there to be thin beige "paper" around this type of yellow insulation? Does anyone recognize the materials? Maybe even the brand, if it was common in the past for the yellow and beige to be together? And, it wouldn't be me if I didn't ask: Could the yellow or beige material contain asbestos?
