Well, Fact About String #8 is "Rope is made by twisting bits of string together: 1000ft of string makes about 720ft of rope." Presumably depending on the thickness. Best combined with Fact About String #1: "When is string rope ? When it's one inch or more in circumference".
Then there's Fact About String #11: "The flax industry in St Helena collapsed in 1966, when the British Post Office discovered rubber bands. Previously string produced for this country made up nearly 100% of the island's exports".
