I've only broken three this year: linen yarn, braided linen yarn, and plied linen cord. The lucet cord appears stronger, but the friction of making it causes the thread to weaken and break (resulting in joins, which weaken the overall cord). So, I tried another square lucet cord, this time of fine wool. The only complaint so far is that it's a little bit stretchy; here's hoping it holds up better than the linen.
