    Thanks, hutzelbein, I'll check how many I have left first.
    Did you also have this problem of the wooki being too long for your hammocks, or am I the only one experimenting this ?

    How much longer? What I found is, that initially the Wooki fit perfectly, but started becoming looser over time. My guess is, that either quilt fabric stretched out a bit (kind of like a rope), or that the rubber band wore out as time went on. Also the rubber band can move closer to the end. Maybe it's a bit of everything. Since I don't use the original rubber band but rather a strong piece of shock cord now, it was fairly easy to remedy: I simply shortened the loop. Here is what my shock cord suspension looks like:

    Yes, you are probably right, because I remember it wasn't that bad, when it was new.
    Mine had to be shortened more, since I could fit a figure 8 knot made with the uq fabric, and it is almost the right size now (only a little too short, like 2 cm, but I prefer having it too short than too long, although I think it does add some shoulder squeeze to my hammock, but at least it is super warm everywhere)...
    Oh by the way, I did sit in mine, and what broke was the small black cord at the head end which was attached with a micro carabiner !
    (I should add that I replaced the original carabiner at the foot end also with a bigger one, because once, the tension was so strong that the original micro one broke. So all in all, that did add some length to the original design as well, but it would still be too long, even if I put everything back to how it was originally).

    Has anyone used Argon 67 for their DYI wookie?

    Im not super familiar with the fabric and thought it may be a good UL option.

    Thoughts??

    Thats what I was hoping...

    But Ive never had either fabric in hand so I wasnt sure if the argon 67 has enough stretch to be suitable

    The stretch element is in the rubber band so it shouldn't really matter as long as you constructed the insulation portion properly.
