Anyone have a favorite company to order whoopie slings from? Mine is getting a little ragged and I have been meaning to make another myself but I think I am going to end up ordering one.

Thanks for both the website and the tip on the Becket Hitch. That is a thought about being able to have more options with the span length. I do like the ease of just being able to throw the whoopie up and not have a knot to tie. But having more hang options would be nice, too. Hmm...
