Sorry. I did actually write a response but I don't see it anywhere now.

I'd say it's either a cocoon or an egg case. Plant stem galls, e.g. goldenrod gall, are usually circular in cross-section, in my recollection, as opposed to one-sided like this one.

Cocoon! Silk cocoons are generally lepidoptera, but not always.
