Peruvian style sling made of felting wool (here still unfinished before the felting). Not as beautiful as e.g. Hubert´s or cava`s slings, but sufficient for my braiding skills (the most complicated round braid I´m able to do is with 8, but mostly - also here - I use the 4 strand / group braid). The whole cords have a core, so the stretch is zero.

Today I´ll wash it at 40°C, so let´s see how much it will shrink. Folded length at the moment is 101 cm.

Lakeslinger, I like the peruvian style sling too.  . Are the core cords wool?

It has been awhile since I posted some of my own work but here are some of my slings I've made fairly recently. Most of them are from tarred bank line.
The First picture contains a couple bank line Tut slings and a split pouch where I finger wove the split instead of braiding. The second picture is a tut made from white mason line and tarred bank line (one of my better looking slings) and the sling below that is my favorite EDC sling which has a four strand round braid and a Balearic inspired 5 strand braid split pouch.

My Tennis ball sling. Made out of only 4 hemp strings as I wanted to keep it lighter than the ammo. I had trouble braiding the release cord straight (because it's very thin I suppose) so it actually twists up a little. Other than that I'm pretty happy with it.
