Looking for a suitable substitute for the black string\cord (x77a). Does anyone
have any suggestions? I've tried Jo-Ann fabrics and Michaels.

Not really. And if you're planning on selling them thereafter, I would strongly
advise to NOT try to sell a non-LEGO part as LEGO, as many buyers are able to
tell the difference!

I've tried to buy some black string from china - FOR MY HOME SETS AND MOCS
ONLY - but they've come with a plastic "cover", making the cord very
slippery and not suitable for replacement for my own applications. I've also
bought rigging thread from Caldercraft but it's only suitable for thinner
cords, as it's 0.5mm only. For my ships I haven't yet found some suitable
replacement, let me know if you have had success.
