The practical origins of hammocks

History tells us that the first hammocks were designed by the Tainos, an indigenous people of the Caribbean, to sleep sheltered by avoiding harmful forest insects, as well as humidity. This practice may seem curious today to us Westerners, because we do not have to fear scorpions or deadly spiders. However, our pests tend to be bedbugs. The hammock still retains all the advantages it had back then and still meets its original purpose. To find out more: The hammock as a solution against bedbugs.

A hammock for indoors and outdoors

Our XXL "Pasto" Hammock is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. For a perfect finish, we let you discover our decorative ropes (hand-woven) in yellow, matching this hammock: Our artisanal ropes. Thanks to the cotton and acrylic blend present in its extra fine thread, the color of this hammock resists the effect of the sun and washing. Its dense weave is very tight for firmer comfort. Note that its 100% artisanal manufacturing may give it some small imperfections, but this is part of its unique charm.

Our artisanal hammocks: The true “Handmade”

There are two types of looms: vertical and horizontal. The horizontal loom (which is widely found in Venezuela, El Salvador but also in Colombia and Brazil), allows several models to be produced quite quickly. It involves weaving a set of threads in a single round trip. At Hamac del Sol we differentiate this type of craftsmanship from vertical manufacturing, because we truly carry it out by hand, thread by thread.
. In this area, many hammock suppliers talk about handmade hammocks, which are not really handmade.

Why handmade on a vertical loom is more expensive than other handmade (supposedly) on a horizontal loom

Vertical weaving on a loom requires much more intensive expertise and meticulous work than horizontal loom. Each wire is positioned individually, requiring careful attention to every detail. It also involves a considerable investment of time and skills. This explains the higher cost of these authentic hammocks. So when you choose a handcrafted hammock on a vertical loom, you are investing in a quality experience. You also choose to support artisans who preserve this traditional art with exceptional dedication.
