Ron suggests black crochet twine from Walmart... I have used 'builders twine' available at Home Depot. It is white but you can color it if you want. My biggest problem was getting the tension tight enough. It has to be very tight to keep the cap from turning from its own weight. I used a faucet spring which is normally used in compression but was strong enough in tension to work well.
Kind regards,
Terry
