Trying to hunt down a nice full-strength sling that has two bar-tacked / sewn loops in each end (could also be spliced).

Ideally 2m and of a subdued colour. Something like tubular nylon sling webbing. I could just tie knots in each end but that would be a bit ghetto and less neat.

This is to wrap around trees and other things to hang a hammock from. The hammock specific ones are generally useless and the stitching tears.

The generic name for that kind of thing is a 'Snake Sling.' Googling around will get you various buying options.

I'd have to check, but I think that "rabbit runner" probably owes its derivation to Bill Forrest.

Searching for "lanyards" instead of "slings" will get you more into working at height/arborist territory, where these items are more common (and as a bonus for you, they're more often black or a muted colour than items aimed at the climbing market). Try Googling "restraint lanyard".

I got some exactly as describing for my slackline, got them from a company who deal with lift/moving heavy things. Bout a tenner each.

Lyon Outdoor do slings in protective sleeves. They aren't actually sewn loops at the end but they do stay put. I have some for caving, and they are bulky but a wonderful shade of yellow.

Other similar strops are available on the same site.

Seen the picture of the runner around the block? Would not want to fall on that with the wiregate the way it is against the rock
