Endless and flemish are two different types of methods for making strings.  

Endless is the one you will see that has serving on both ends and the middle.   Hints the name "endless".  It is made by continually wrapping material around posts stretched out at the necessary length to make the desired string length.  


Flemish is made by making a bundles and twisting them together with a twist away and a roll towards. Most people say a flemsih is quieter than endless.  I would speculate that that's  because and endless loop doesn't have as many many twists ni it and would absord less vibration than an flemish twist.  

(the silencing part was all opinion, so don't put too much weight on those.)
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD And whose trust is the LORD. Jeremiah 17:7

"There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death."  Proverbs 14:12

What the string man said: Endless loop and flemish twist are 2 different types of strings!

The OP asked WHO MAKES an endless  Dacron string NOT what is the difference or how they are made between endless and Flemish strings. :-)

If you would have read his comment right before yours, he replied with, "edited the post".  He asked the question I answered originally.

Any of the string makers who are offering Flemish strings should be able to make an endless loop string for you.  Takes a different jig, but easy to make.

Might ask over on the Trad History forum.

3Rivers and Kustom King, sell continuos/endless loop strings.

not a problem, reading my reply, I may came off as a jerk.  I wasn't intending it to come out that way!
