Thanks SerKraus, it is jute.

Thanks Albion. I have quite problem getting my four strand round braids consistent especially with more than one piece of string per strand. This is my first sling where I did not mess it up. At first the long sling for SITH was supposed to be round braid with the pouch being flatbraid or woven with paracord but I messed up the braid so much I decided to go with the flat for the entire sling.

This is one way.

The verbal description: Strand 1 to 4 from left to right. How I do it is take strand 1, bring in front of strand 3 and cross over it and behind it (to make strand 1's final position #2). Then you just do the same on the other side, Strand 4 in front of strand 2, around and behind it to take position 3. Rinse and repeat.
