I'm afraid that there are very few methods to obtain them besides the ones you have already mentioned. I believe it may be possible to find them in chests in NPC villages, but honestly, the best way to get them are via killing Spiders.

My advice: Just set the game on hard difficulty and wait till mobs come out, then sleep. When you wake up, the Skeletons and Zombies will be burning up with Spiders along with other mobs (like Enderman and Creepers) remaining. Then just get yourself a sword and quickly slash those buggers to death; it shouldn't take long to get 3 String.
