almost any chandlery (or marine shop dealing in sails) will have waxed whipping twine. Great stuff, but as said almost anything will work.

I used the spare shoelaces for some dress shoes I've never needed.
Yes. I have seen several similar cords there. You are looking for 1/8 polyester solid braided cord. It is sold as sash cord and/or utility cord.
This will work but is a bit heavy:

This would be my first choice from what they have:

I don't know of they have weird fiber mixes of are covering their bets for whatever gets put in the bag. I'd avoid Nylon because it stretches.
Here is a better choice but at Lowes:

OP never said what size cordage he was whipping. Nothing the matter with dressing cordage used here with whipping. But heavy polyester thread would be appropriate for dressing a splice or end of 7/64" Amsteel.
I also assumed hammock. I bury the ends on amsteel, the ultimate finished look. I thought everyone did that, which is why I assumed it was a hammock question.
Hi Guys,
Thank you for all the ideas.
Yes it is a hammock that I am whipping.
I am trying to do a setup in my basement while I decide what to buy or make.
I am going to use a sheet to start and move on from there.
