Millinery Blocking Cord

Hello everyone!

I am just starting my first millinery project! Will be blocking my first felt fedora. I was wondering what kind of cord and knot do people use as the blocking cord?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I use thin rope like for a wash line. I get a whole bolt of it at Wal-Mart for about $2.00 in the tool section and it lasts forever. I use a slip knot for tightness and ease of pulling and releasing. Good luck!
