I used to make wooden sailing ships.
The best and strongest rigging I found was natural fibre - cotton or thin string. All still god after 20-25 years. Still taut.
However the secret is to buy some beeswax and pull the cotton through it before rigging. This both protects it and stops it looking "hairy".
Natural fibre rigging treated like this is easy to work with and will not sag or shrink.
