    I keep missing out on this stuff myself. It doesn't help that the only WM in my area that still sells fabric is over an hour away. I'm sure there are more fabric selling WM in my area, but calling a Walmart and asking them a simple question like "do you sell fabric at your location" absolutely baffles them and turns a 30 second call into 20 minutes of "asking a manager".

    I have some of this material. Is there a way I can tell the weight of it? I bought two bolts that had 5yrds of material each and would really like to make a nice single layer hammock out of it for myself. I weigh a little under 250 lbs and would like to know how this would hang for me? Should I go with a double layer to be on the safe side.

    Just started a hammock for myself out of this tonight. I suspect it is 1.1-1.3 though I've forgotten since I weighed it. It is definitely lighter than 1.9.

    I only have 47 feet left. It was good while it lasted.

    Double layer it sounds like. Guess I am going to have to find another material for the synthetic under quilt project.
