A: The cord commonly used around these parts is a braided Polyester twine (used for sailmaking I think?). Its main advantage is that knots can be clipped short & melted with a flame to completely seal them from coming undone.

This said, I am always on the lookout for different types/colours/weights of thread. There is no right or wrong, just personal preference.
