crochet hammock

With an array of warm earth colors, this cotton hammock promises a much deserved relaxation. It comes from Brazil's Hammock Artisans of Ceará and it is finished with decorative hand-crocheted side panels. Brown, light and dark green complement the ivory tones of crude cotton.

Maya Artists of the Yucatán weave shades of yellow, blue, orange, green, and pink into a bright and comfortable hammock. Artisans preserve the traditional hand-weaving techniques first developed by Maya ancestors to craft this inviting hammock.

Long before the Spanish arrived upon the coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya preferred to sleep and rest in hammocks. They considered the hammock to be like the loving embrace of a mother, due to the comfortable manner in which the body is held and swung within its cradle. Maya Artists of the Yucatan seek to preserve time-honored customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them, the hammock is a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and may be stored just about anywhere.

Please note: The accompanying extension ropes may vary in color from those shown in the images.

Please note: For best results, store indoors when not in use. Colors may bleed when wet.

NOTE: Because each is woven individually by hand, measurements may vary by as much as ten centimeters. There may be slight color variations from hammock to hammock.

Festive colors promise sweet relaxation in a beautiful hammock from Brazil's Hammock Artisans of Ceará. The cotton hammock is finished by hand with lavish crocheted florid draping down from the blue, red, orange, yellow and white body.

Please note: the hand-crocheted side panels may vary somewhat in pattern from the image shown. However, the overall style and color will remain the same.
