The Central American sprang-weave hammocks are the worlds best and the Nicaraguan hammock industry consistently produces a high quality product. Sprang weaving is one of civilizations oldest weaving methods - no equipment and lots of labor. Go here for more background: Sprang-Weave Information It endures today because of it's simplicity and effectiveness and the Indians of the upper Amazon still use this process, (although with crude, available fibers from the nearest fibrous  plants.) It is a basic method of inter-locking parallel cords to produce a strong, flat fabric that is fixed in one dimension (length) and expansive in the other dimension (width).  This was good for fishing nets and is an ideal process for creating comfortable and safe hammocks that have many practical uses. 20 Ways to Use Your Nicaraguan Hammock

As the Nicaraguan artisans also hand twist the yarns into the cords used in the hammock (three twists: one for the bed section, one for the support arms and one for the crochet borders), it allows for some innovative colors and designs.  They produce hammocks in solid colors, long stripes, cross-stripes and mélange color combinations that are unique.  For example, blending Red & Orange yarn strands into a cord yields a vibrant "tomato" shade of red that looks good enough to eat. The cross-stripes of Olive & Mustard is tiger-like, and the long stripes have a cabana style.  As these hammocks-hamacas are equally at home indoors and outdoors, there are plenty of decorating opportunities for all.  Detailed Twisting Information
