Howdy,
It might be hard to locate such a specific item.
I don't quite know what you mean, but do you mean the hollow braided polypropylene rope that is used for water ski ropes? I think they will be available in bright colours only and narrower width/diameters than you need.
Do you know where this type of rope might be used in general? That might help you track down suppliers?
Best wishes
Michael

I've seen dog leads made of this stuff, so try a vet or pet supplies.

Most Sailmakers will carry this in white and maybe black. Have a look for some sailmakers in the yellow pages close to you. Most would be happy to sell you a metre. Originally Posted by teasea

Are these the type you are making? If so, why does it need to be hollow?

Try an outdoors/climbing store (eg: mountain designs), climbers use it for slings.

Yes it is, I was just following the 'redfish' recipe I guess flat will probably be OK if that is what you are suggesting. Originally Posted by anewhouse

I have not made them myself, but I have seen a few photos of ones that others have made. Some of them were definitely flat webbing. I don't think I have ever seen anyone claim that there is a problem with flat webbing.
Others may be able to think of a reason why tubular webbing would be better, but I can't see any real advantage.
