Sorry I didn't see your question. In my experience, Anything Dyneema/Spectra in a becket hitch will eventually slip. The yarn is too slippery to really get the bite it needs. It helps if the continuous loop your attaching the dyneema/spectra to is much larger in diameter and made from Nylon or Polyester but even in that case its a bit iffy as eventually with enough weight/force it will slip. I hope this info helps. Thanks!
Finally pulled the trigger on ordering some of the reflective whoopie line. Looking forward to seeing how it handles. Orange works perfect for the build it will be used in, but any eta or updates on additional colors or the slightly increased size?
Thanks for the business! I have been waiting for the yarn to come in for the bigger size. As far as more colors go, Once I get the larger size launched and I know that the constructions are perfect then I will make a few more colors. Any color wishes?
Thanks again,
Lawson
Earth tones please!
Didn't get to hang on this line the other weekend like I thought I would. On my stand, however, the UCR with standard bury length slipped. The one I made with a bury half again longer worked fine. For the record, the hang angle on my stand was quite steep. More testing to follow, a few days at The Frozen Butt coming up.
Reflective is one of my favorite colors!
I sew things on youtube.
I don’t sew on commission, so please don’t ask. Thanks.
Gray, would complement the orange well. My preferred color combo. Placed order for some todayOriginally Posted by Mountainfitter
TO EACH THEIR OWN....
Nice! I agree with earth-tones being a good choice. The neon colors of regular Dynaglide is something I have not liked. I like to blend in with my environment a bit better. I will keep checking on colors and diameter for making another WV People's Bridge Hammock.
