Inland where the wind is light, good, strong, linen thread answers all purposes for small kites, but when the kites are larger or the wind is stronger the best string a close-twisted linen line. At the famous Blue Hill "kite stables" a string called blocking-cord is used in blocking hats. Cable-laid twines are also good for kite string. Don't tie a granny knot or you will lose your kite. Look in your "American Boy's Handy Book," and in the chapter on knots, bends, and hitches you will see how to tie knots that will not slip.
