There is very little difference. Twine tends to be thicker and stiffer, in my experience.

Thank you.
This is what I thought. The problem is - I have to translate it in a crochet handbook. So I am going just "lose" one of them :( |

Guntaleb, when people crochet they usually use yarn or thick thread, not string or twine.
Twine is the kind of heavy string people use for tying packages. It's like rope, but thinner. |

Well, I am really grateful about the comment but the book I am translating deals with all things that can be made that way including shopping bags, wire decorations, rugs etc (and I am translating FROM English, not INTO).
And definitely I am not the author of that book, so I have to translate what is advised by her. |

| If memory serves, when twine is talked about amongst crafters (including those who crochet), it refers to a very rough natural colored string that is at least two strands twisted together. String is a term that probably wouldn't be used with crochet. |
