Waxed thread works great. You can get it at Tandy leather, or any store that sells leather working supplies. It's about the same diameter as real dial cord, wax coated so it won't slip, doesn't stretch, and it's cheap. You can also bend little "hooks" in it to get it around pulleys and in hard to reach areas and it holds it shape.
