Inline splicing of one line into the midspan of the other works well
in nylon 3-strand laid rope, and the better the rope quality the
better and easier splicing works.

----------------------------

That should be better than the grommet (ring) I suggested, because the 
splice will be in line with the pull.
If the added piece is shorter the continuous main rope will bear all of a 
centered load.
