The practical origins of hammocks

History tells us that the first hammocks were designed by the Taïnos, an indigenous people of the Caribbean, to provide shelter from harmful forest insects and humidity. This practice may seem curious to us Westerners today, as we don't have to fear scorpions or deadly spiders. However, our pests are more likely to be bedbugs. The hammock still retains all the advantages it had back then, and still serves its original purpose. Find out more about the hammock: The hammock as a solution against bedbugs.

Note that its 100% artisanal manufacture may give it a few minor imperfections, but that's part of its unique charm.

Our handmade hammocks: the real "handmade

There are two types of loom: vertical and horizontal. The horizontal loom (widely used in Venezuela and El Salvador, but also in Colombia and Brazil) can produce several models fairly 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 weaving, because we do it truly by hand, thread by thread.
. In this field, many hammock suppliers talk about handmade hammocks, which are not really handmade.

Why handmade on a vertical loom is more expensive than (so-called) handmade on a horizontal loom

Vertical weaving on a loom requires far more expertise and meticulous work than on a horizontal loom. Each thread is positioned individually, requiring meticulous attention to every detail. It also involves a considerable investment of time and skill. This explains the higher cost of these authentic hammocks. So when you choose a hammock made by hand on a vertical loom, you're investing in a quality experience. You're also choosing to support craftsmen who preserve this traditional art with exceptional dedication.
