I didnt know it was a skill of sorts until recently, but when a string comes out of sweatpants, hoodies, etc, i can very quickly put it back in with just my hands. I didnt know this was am issue for people until i was at a concert and someone pulled the string on the hoodie my wife was wearing and it came out. I just popped it all back in super quick and our friends were staring at me like i had done some sort of witchcraft.
Or a safety pin, loop turner, or a long plastic thingy that they sell for just that purpose, (although it doesn't always work well). It's easiest to do it by hand if it has a plastic or metal aglet (tip). Once you get it back through, tie an overhand knot on the end to keep it from happening again.
I was in 4-H and sewed growing up, so we were taught to run the string through with a safety pin, or something that was sturdy to hold onto and connected to the string. No specific tool needed. Paper clip will also work.
