Grip Cord

I just got a new catalog in the mail today, and found an item of interest to those who make cord grips on rods. It is called flax yarn, 5 different colors and comes in spools of 246 feet. Flax cord will not rot!! The web address is www.thebestbrushes.com.
I am going to order a couple of spools to see how it works. Looks like they might also have some good brushes for shop clean up!

I've got a deckhand rod with a hopelessly screwed up rubberized cork tape handle that I want to re-grip with cord, but am going to use flocked shrink tubing to get me through my next trip, after which I'll go with the cord. I'll contact the company about the yarn configuration; I wonder if it is flat or round?

The picture in the catalog looks like round.
