Jo-Anns Ripstop Nylon weight?

[T_Bone]

I've made 2 bright orange hammocks from Joanne's fabric I bought using one of their 50% coupons.

It's roughly 1.9oz fabric. The order I got has a slightly plastic feel to it versus other nylon fabrics I've purchased, but it isn't enough to stop me from using it. I rarely lay in a hammock skin to hammock body to feel it so it's a non-issue for the most part. It has about what I consider the perfect amount of stretch that I've come to like in a hammock. The 10.5 foot version I made is probably one of my favorite cold weather hammocks.

All that said the selling point was basically price with the coupon, and RSBTR can meet that with his 1.9oz ripstop so I doubt I'll purchase any more. I'd rather support RSBTR or Dutch.

Ripstopbytheroll.com is awesome! And Dutch is awesome too!
So they get my vote. Joann's doesn't ever seem to have what I'm looking for. Or if they do, its not labeled in a way that this novice can understand what he's looking at.
I know that when I order from Dutch or RBTR I'm getting what I want, because they were founded by people making the type of stuff I'm attempting to make.
