The red yarn is called a "Yaw String". It gives a visual indication if there are balanced rudder and aileron inputs. For example, if the string is to the right, then I have too much right rudder for the amount of aileron. Either back off on the rudder or add aileron. Making turns with the yaw string straight back makes for more efficient flying. Slipping or skidded turns are bad as they cause extra drag and that means coming down sooner.
