I think you're talking about baggywrinkles... they were originally made by using small stuff and binding it with small diameter
line... and then wrapping the shrouds or stays with it... modern ones are made with polypropylene and nylon that is heat set to a central core, that is wound around the shrouds or stays.
Seafaring.com has them for sale IIRC.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
