Housewrap is the thin sheet of material that goes between the sheathing and the siding of a structure. In areas of new construction it is common to see a home wrapped in what looks like wrapping paper covered with a brand name. In our area that name is usually Tyvek (by DuPont). Another important brand of housewrap is Typar (by Fiberweb).
