Baggywrinkle
Baggywrinkle is a soft covering for cables (or any other obstructions) that prevents sail chafing from occurring. It is made from short lengths of yarn cut from old pieces of line that have been taken out of service, thrummed into a double braid called "railroad sinnet," which is wound in a helix around the rope or spar in question.
