It is a real privilege getting such a compliment from you! Your work is a gold standard.
I used a 4/9.6nm yarn, which is ~1200m per 500g roll.
The braid is 7 strands, with each strand made up of 4 threads (for the finger loop).
The release is very good.
I'm also working on a longer, lighter model.

Is the main cord looped back around into itself and stitched? This transition looks seamless and I don't understand how it is done.

The cord is a 4-strand braid, and I half the thickness to accommodate the yarns that wrap backwards after forming the loop (this makes it seamless).
To make the loop, I wax the yarns at the loose end of the braid and put them around a rod. This makes it hold it's shape while it's being whipped with string, which is then done to keep it all together.
