Wal Mart had some black in the $1 bin. Is it worth buying.
If you're gonna make something from it. It's only $1/yd - not a big loss if you buy a few yards and it doesn't work out.
now, if it was silnylon, you could have bought the whole lot as an investment, sold it for 1.50$ a yard + shipping to all the loonies (*cough* DIYers *cough*) on the net- especially if it was camo.
Now, Ewker- black would make a cool colour for a hammock.... :D

(and yes, I'm perfectly aware that I called myself a loony)
EDIT: get your height + 2 feet + 2 feet for knots. 4 - 5 yards?

If you make a hammock, make sure that you hem the ends. It doesn't matter on cotton, but on nylon it will rip and you will be sitting on the ground.
Trust me on this one.;)
but isn't it rip-stop nylon?
meh. Hem the edges, it's only straight line stitching

When I did not hem a piece of 1.9 oz ripstop and set in it as a hammock. I ended up on the ground with 2 pieces of ripstop where I started with one piece. It puts to much stress on the edges. I also now cut off the salvage edges. That's probibly overkill though.
Pan- I laughed out loud. "Well fed" hahahahaha
