Default concrete reinforcing fibres

I'm planning on laying a concrete slab. In an attempt to stop it
cracking I'm considering adding fibres to it. Now, it'll only be a
couple of m3 of concrete, so I reckon I'll only need about 1kg of
fibre. Anyone know where I can buy some in this quantity?

1kg of fibre for a couple of cubic metres of concrete? - this is a waste of
time and money...unless you meant a couple of square metres of concrete
(m2)?

If you did mean square metres, then you don't need fibre anyway, so long as
the concrete is at least 100mm thick.
