Hi all, I'm making my first hammock, using the Backwoods Daydreamer DIY guide and the gathered end hammock instructions by knotty here on Hammock Forums, and I wanted to check a detail with people here. I'm getting a Whoppie Hook suspension from Dutchware, so there'll be an Amsteel continuous loop larks-headed around each end that the suspension attaches to. Given that the cord gathering the end won't be load bearing, can I really use just about anything for it? I've seen braided mason line mentioned for this purpose, but the hardware store near me only has it in fluorescent pink, in 1000 foot rolls. The pink would clash with the fabric I have for the hammock and 1000 feet is 994 feet more than I need, hence my question. So, can I really use just any thing? Like, for example, a shoe lace or a yoyo string or craft twine...?
Thanks!
