Nanda- The cord came with my Cooke Custom Sewing tarp. But Dan sells it on his web site.   (You need to Login or Register

Tends to tangle easy until you get it dirty.



One thing to rememeber with that cord, is that if your going to use it for a haul rope ( I changed over from heavier but weaker line), is that you either need to wear a pair of leather gloves or use a stick to wrap cord around and pull it with.

I took 3 pieces of 1/2 pvc pipe about a foot long and drilled a hole thru and ran cord and tied off.
I use the pvc pipe to wrap my 3 cord around and to pull it as tight as possible when rigging lines.
You get that thin cord under load and barehanded or wrapped around your hand for leverage and you'll find out real fast that it's not only super strong/ non stretching but will chew your bareskin up like braided fish line. :'(
