comfortable hammock

Handwoven on the backstrap loom, this single hammock is the work of Las Trampas Hammock Artisans. With a striped design of espresso and alabaster, it is as comfortable as it is beautiful. The hammock is created from two individual panels of woven fabric that are then sewn together for a cohesive unit. The proceeds from their work help the artisans afford a better education for their children.

Woven by hand, brown cotton evokes rich Guatemalan coffee. Narrow stripes in blue, grey and yellow run the length of this comfortable hammock. Las Trampas Hammock Artisans select cotton to create this inviting design.

Maya Artists of the Yucatan hand-weave glistening bronze hues into a handsome 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.

It easily packs for travel to the beach or lake. Extender ropes (measuring 1 meter), hammock hooks ("S" hooks), and step-by-step instructions included for easy installation.

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.
