I find my yaw string always swings out to one side or the other - should I
use a heavier string?


Nah, just tape down both ends.

That is not aerodynamically clean. A yaw string, properly mounted to the
inside of the canopy, needs tape at only one end.This results in less
drag to the glider, and less confusion to the pilot.

But, doesn't the loose end dangling in front of your face get to be
annoying? Tape both ends, I say.
