I was in a single engined cessna that flew in to a kite line and the nylon got wrapped around the propellor?

This was years and years ago but I was wondering if that could have been dangerous

I was with a flying instructor and we flew to a beach and buzed it and then flew the thirty minutes back to the flight school

When we landed he looked at the propellor and there was a lot nylon string wrapped around the cylinder holding the propellor

He said we must have 'caught' the nylon string when we buzzed the beack of perhaps when we descended into the aerodrome at the end of the flight

Could this have caused the propellor/engine to fail?

You wouldn't think so, Nylon is thin, but it would also depend on how long the piece of nylon was.
