    Source for Colored Shock Cord?

    I've seen it, Yellow, Orange, etc 1/8" shock cord. My Google-fu is apparently sub par, because in 1/8" I can only find black, or white (with black stripes)

    Everything else I find (colored) is bungee cord sized, 1/4-1/2" or larger.

    Is there a source for shock cord other than Black, or white (with stripes!)?

    Prefer a by the foot price, and I've seen the colored stuff on ebay (I bought a 50' section a while ago) but it's not good shock cord, what i received from ebay was basically paracord with a rubber band running in the middle, the sheathing wouldn't stretch much, and the center snapped at like 10% pull.

    I think it is actually a .04 cent savings over the normal price?

    Cool links. Why hadn't I thought of that. Good to be part of a community.

    Now if I could find some orange 3/32" shock cord. Maybe get it in white and dye it?
