Right to the point in an easily understandable video. Thanks for explaining this sleeving process to me!

You have just made life easier for new Kiteflyers.

Knots weaken the line, different knots will weaken by different amount. It has to do with how sharply the line is bent. On the outside of the bend you have lots of tension, and the inside of the line is compressed so the line typically breaks at the knot and sleeving the line cushions the knot.

Where can I get just the sleeving material?

Putting an overhand knot in a line reduces the strength of the kite line by 50%, it looks like you are using dyneema kite line. The 12 strand braid line can be spliced using a brummel lock splice which keeps the strength at 85-90% and you thread the sleeving on before making the splice.

Ok in a emergency but just does not have style for long term. I prefer clean sown loops
