Default Padding Cord for Irish Crochet?

Anyone know if/where I can buy this?

I know that some experienced folks just use 3-4 strands of thread held
together, but I'm hoping that an actual cord exists somewhere that I
can buy while I'm learning. I figure that would be a whole lot easier
to ease into, then work my way up to home-grown cord.

Any pointers would be appreciated!

Try looking in the upholstery section of the fabric store. There
ought to be cord sold for making piping along the edges of cushions.
Another option: cotton yarns. Perle cotton comes in many colors
and thicknesses.
