Hammocks have long been part of the history of Paraguay. The Guaraní, whose bloodline is shared by nearly everyone in the country, call them keha, meaning ‘place to sleep’. Through generations they mastered the art of hand-knotting using coconut and palm fibers, grasses, and cotton. The advent of the hand-loom allowed for faster production of a similarly sturdy sling, but didn’t diminish or replace the old way of knotting; rather, it added to the depth and range of an already deep artisanal culture. Our loomed cotton hammocks are masterfully handcrafted on a traditional shuttle loom to create a comfortable basketweave textured sling, featuring hand-knotted fringes and tassels. It boasts generous suspension cords on each end for strength and even weight distribution. Because each hammock is handmade, slight variations in size and appearance may occur.
