String Ties

[Rick Gates]

Most of the fabrics from Matthews I purchase come with string ties.  Occasionally, these get lost and I'm looking to replace them.  However, I can't find a source for them.  Are they a standard rope size?

Thank Ed,  I started your suggestion and found it under something called "trick line" for theater applications.

Thanks mucho!

On the topic of Matthews rags, does anyone have suggestions for a storage bag?  I recently ordered an 8x8 solid and didn't realize it didn't come with a bag like TRP cloths do.  Matthews does sell a 'Rag Bag' but it's red and I would really prefer a black solid rag to have a black bag...  Does TRP sell the bags separately?

Modern Studio Equipment sells bags separtely and when you order a rag it comes with a bag.

I use elastic bungee toggles. Gets a bit more tension on the textile and I think it's a little faster to use.
