Default Flex floss

Does anybody know if flex floss (or span flex or any other of the names lycra goes under) is still available in different widths, and, if so, who stocks it? I am looking for some broad stuff, around 2mm or so.

Wapsi Spanflex comes in Medium and Small (which I assume is width).

I very much prefer flexi to spanflex as it seems not to rot, it also stretches better giving you an almost infinite range of sizes smaller than itself. What size were you looking for ?

Thanks guys,
It was the large (2mm plus) that I was looking for and can't seem to find.
Cheers, anyway.
Angus
