Was there anything special about the string that we'd need to know before going to a fabric store? It's coated with something to protect it from friction?

I hate to admit it but we have a broken string and it didn't break on its own. It had a little help from me. Our model has the wood valance around the big window over the bedroom dresser. We have some electrical items sitting on the dresser and the cords were unsightly. Vicki suggested I put a hole through the wood on the closet side where it would not be seen. Great idea. I got out my trusty drill and a one inch wood bit and went to town. Unseen (and unthought of by me) the string for the shade runs close up the side of that valance. It's well hidden and I didn't even think about it being there. But I managed to pop that string with the drill bit. So, now I have to find the string and fix it.
