The picture of a red and white striped twine here resembles that of a Dokumentschnur shown on this URL: http://wohnscheune-shop.de/Dokumentenschnur

It's called a striped string or just a red and white string here: http://bellocchio.com/catalogue/papeterie/stripedstring/

On a parallel note, this write up on 'Mărțișor' makes interesting reading:

Mărțișor, marţ and mărțiguș are all names for the red and white string from which a small decoration is tied, and which is offered by people on the 1st day of March.
