When it is said that a string has little or no "creep", what is that refering to?

Thanks

I think it refers to it will not stretch much when placed on the bow.

I believe creep is actually the oppossite of stretch.

I thought creep and stretch were the same with regards to strings.

Creep could also refer to the shortening of ones draw prior to release.

"Stretch" is elasticity that returns to it's original length once tension is removed, creep does not. A string is as stretched as it'll ever be at brace height (most tension) but may creep a little over time. Flemish string strings will "settle" as the loops tighten up over time but that's a seperate thing.....O.L.

What O.L. said!
Creep is an irreversible slow "give away" of the fibres and stretch is a reversible "spring like" response to tension.
