  Clothesline Crochet
Clothesline crochet is a technique used to create baskets, rugs, coasters, chair pads, placemats, etc. The crochet stitches are worked over a core of clothesline or other cord for body, thickness and durability.
I found a 100% cotton 1/8"diameter sash cord that's thinner than clothesline, but it works nicely for smaller projects like coasters, trivets and small baskets.
Especially avoid cotton clothesline with a nylon core.

 Association of Women Students - Mount Union College
CLOTHESLINE PROJECT, is a visual display of shirts with written messages and/or illustrations for the purpose of educating, mourning those who have died as a result of sexual assault/domestic violence, and bearing witness to survivors' courage to heal.
During the public display, the shirts are hung on a clothesline; a clothesline on which individuals symbolically air out society's insidiously silent "dirty laundry.” Each shirt is decorated to represent a particular person's experience, by the survivor him/herself, or by an ally in support of ending domestic violence.
Thus, a powerfully simple concept was born; a clothesline on which women could air out society's insidiously silent "dirty laundry." Using the deceptively simple medium of the t-shirt, survivors were able to create stunningly poignant and moving personal accounts of their feelings, their struggles, and their efforts to heal from the violence they had experienced.
