Hello!

I used to use a product from White Ensign called "Lycra Thread" for rigging ships. It was cheap and amazing. ...and I'm out of it.

Is there a similar product still out there?

I have not used it,but some folks use sometning called EZ line,this is just one listing,it can be had in a lot of sizes and colors,and places.

I got some black "elastic " thread at Joanne Fabrics.

You can get a product called Lycra knitting elastic at fabric supply stores. The problem with it is that the profile is flat, not round. Maybe they have other types with a round profile but I will stick to the EZ Line.

To add to the pile of options...Uschi van der Rosten has rigging line as well. Three different sizes with 150 feet on a spool for around $11 US.

Thanks everyone!!

Super helpful. I've got a small fleet in my stash, so I'll be able to try out a couple of these!

Much appreciated!
