The coloured strips were known as rogue yarn , iirc from my seamanship course in the 60s , when the man made fibres came in nylon had a blue yarn and terylene had a great one , they stretch a lot and become dangerous , there was a tug of war between 2 ships companies on the South Mole Gibraltar , used a ships tow rope which was a large braided rope, after the rag was pulled over the line one crew dropped the rope , the stored energy was released and the large thimble eye and link caused a lot of injuries ,
