 Best material for string ligature?

Hello,
Earlier today I tried making a string ligature, and I ended up really liking the tone of it. The string I initially used frayed too easily, so at the suggestion of someone on this message board, I went out and bought some shoelace to use. The material works great, but it seems the standard shoelace length is too short; I was only able to make around 7 or 8 loops around the mouthpiece before running out of shoelace (picture attached). For anyone else out there who has experience using a string ligature, what material do you use, and where do you get it? I've seen one or two websites that sell clarinet-specific string, but they charge $20-something shipping for a $2 piece of string since they're shipping from Germany to the US.
Thanks,
Max
