Take a clean toilet brush and wrap it around the stuff and pull it out.

Hello and welcome!
What @j.w said is the best way to temporarily get rid of it. You’re probably seeing this now because when you re-lined the pond, it messed with the balance of the pond’s ecosystem. The string algae is responding to excess nutrients in the water. Adding more plants will help.
Please tell us about your pond, and we love to see pictures!
