On the left, 5 mm Dyneema (about 2T resistance) with end block.
In the middle, 4 mm Dyneema (top running backstay)
On the right, 3 mm Dyneema (baby running backstay).
I have tried to “knit” (or weave) a Dyneema loop into a running strand.
I was told that the strength would not be reliable. I have seen a video where they test the resistance of a 20mm (I guess) of Dyneema and it broke at the junction of the loop. It seems that bending the strands builds a weak point as the traction on the loop increases.
