Bale twine is the string that holds a bundle of hay together. A length of bale twine, cut the bale twine, tie it with bale twine.
It is the universal farm repair, and gates, fences and coats have all been held together with it. It is strong, cheap and slow to rot, which is also why it is a hazard to livestock if left about.
