Does this exist - carbon fibre cord / rope?

I'd like to find some thin (~1mm) woven carbon fibre cord. I haven't been able to find a supplier of it except for manufacturers in China. I only need a couple of metres.

Does anybody know a supplier of this or can anyone suggest what kind of industry / sport / hobby it might be used in so I can narrow my search?

    It exists, but by far most of it is manufactured in China. There also don't appear to be very many suppliers in the UK that sell direct to consumers. I assume you are in the UK based on your spelling and units of measure. My apologies if that's incorrect.

    If you are willing to buy from a US supplier, there are quite a few available. I'm not sure if any sell cord as thin as you want - the smallest I could find is about 50% thicker. And, of course even the US suppliers by their raw materials mostly from China.

    If that is acceptable, here is the first hit I got:

    You may also consider looking for kevlar cord, rather than carbon fiber. There appears to be quite a bit more of that available.

    Hi. I'm looking for the same carbon cord (thin (~1mm) ). I have searched a lot but I just could find some carbon fiber cords which is about 2mm. Could you please let me know where could you find the 1.5 mm wide carbon cords? I appreciate your time and help in advance.
