The cotton string is a consistent width, stays twisted so it was easy to work with, and added heft without being too stiff. The twine varied too much in width making it difficult to sew a straight line against, and even though it was thinner than the string the corded section was much stiffer. The mystery yarn separated into threads and kept flattening out, making it hard to sew against.
The cotton string wins.
I may be a little late to this party but rat's tail cord works wonderfully as pipping cord.
