Such a structure is called a Nucleosome
In chromatin structure, DNA wraps around a histone protein about 1.65 times.
They're called histone proteins. There are 8histones proteins in which a loop of DNA wraps around twice. Then another histone protein called the H1 linker binds them together.
DNA wraps around histone proteins in the process of gene expression.
A Histone Core is a group of Histone Proteins, mainly used in eukaryotes to package DNA strands into Nucleosomes. (Think of it like a spool for the DNA to wrap around, to be easily stored on a shelf)
Chromatin consists of DNA wrapped around histone proteins. These histone proteins help condense the DNA into a more compact structure, which is necessary for packaging and regulating gene expression within the cell.
Protein Molecules. "Dna coild around protein molecules called histones."

The DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form nucleosomes, which then coil up to form chromatin. This complex helps package the long DNA molecule into a more compact structure, which allows it to fit inside the cell nucleus.
Chromosomes, as a thread, use histone protein cores as spools that they use to wrap around and, hence, condense.

The diameter of the alpha helix structure of DNA is 2nm, the diameter after having wrapped around the first histone is 11nm. That string wraps around another histone forming a 30nm chain, and so forth until you reach the chromasomal structure of roughly 700nm.
