I have a roll of the flat variety and use it so seldom it will last my 
lifetime, I'm sure. I learned how to lace cables 50 years ago when I 
worked on exchange installation in the days of step-by-step switching.

I have been told that waxed twine can be bought at ship's chandlers as I 
understand it's used in mending sails.
