Amsteel for whoopie slings

[greensurfingbear]

Fool of a Took that I am didn't take up group buy when it was running. Now I've used my hammock and have an idea if what I'm doing (in a vague sense of course) I'd like to attempt whoopie slings. Can someone let me know a decent place in the U.K that sells it

cheers

How much do you need? I can cover you 2 whoopies no problem.

I've no idea about where to get the stiff to make them, but I bought mine pre made from UKhammocks, £12.99.

Marlow D12 is a decent alternative. Splices and buries easily, and is readily available if you search on google.

Usual is 6ft whoopies, for that youll need 28 ft for a set.

I've spliced with Amsteel, D12 and Dynamic line. They are all very good, English Braids Dynamic line 2mm is by far the best though IMO, much thinner, prestretched and stronger but you pay for it at over £2/m.
