Actually, this stuff is very easy to tie, much like regular fiber string
(e.g. cotton). Because it's braided, it has much more flexiblity. Also, it's
not subject to residual curvature, so if you bend the string, it will
un-bend easily (again, much like cotton string does).
If you meant "getting tangled", I think you're right. This string will not
knot up into a tangled mess as easily as other string.
