The string or silk emitted is formulated by the spider not to adhere to it's own fur or hair. On their tricky little legs the have spikes of hair that they can use like knitting needles. While they criss and cross freely, their strings are strategically glued with an emission to hold their cross sections in place. At least that's what they told me.

I think there's something being given out at the tip of its legs.

There are also 'dry strings' and 'wet strings' (i don't know the technical terms). Dry strings are non-sticky and cannot be extended much. i.e. it breaks after being stretched a little. It is used to support the spider web. Wet strings are the entire opposite. They are very sticky and can be stretched for long distances due to something on the strings that extend the string.
