I'm looking for a source for 5/64 amsteel dyneema -- probably 50 feet to 100 feet or so. I believe this is the size used by whoopiesling.com for their lighter-weight whoopies.

Smallest I've ever run across is 7/64", and a lot of the folks here use that for whoopie slings. A great source is Redden Marine, use the "hammockforum" discount code for a price break.

Ended up with 100 feet of 7/64 amsteel dyneema and 180 feed of zing-it. Saved $2.33 by using the hammockforum discount code. Excellent. Now I will get to work making lots of cordage stuff. Fun lies ahead. It's great to be a hammock nerd.
Make your longest items first: ridgelines and whoopies. Then with the leftovers you can make things like soft shackles and nacrabiners.

West Marine, a national chain, will price match anybody. The branch or franchise local to me seems large, but doesn't have more than one color in small sizes.
I doubt they would price match the 5% discount, and wouldn't argue it. But, I get to feel the goods and look at other tools and cordage.
