Replacing a broken set of blinds in my house and apparently no one sells the old standard kind where you pull the cord to raise them, I guess because kids and/or pets could tangle in the cord? Bit of an education in miniblinds today.

more than 1 string for a set of blinds

Small differences in rolling behaviour for each string as they're collected on the roll can cause tuning problems and so need tiny adjustment periodically.

Just tie a knot. Avoid the overhand - do a climber's figure-8 instead - if you want to untie it later for tuning ever.
