    Crinkle Nylon

    For those who love ENO and Grand Trunk hammocks - I just received something similar to that fabric:

    Heavier than 1.1 ripstop, of course, but a nice feel I think will be very comfortable. It is not easy to photograph fabrics but this shows the texture:

    www.DIYGearSupply.com also carries this in black. I've made a hammock with it.

    I don't believe DIYGearSupply carries it anymore, but maybe I'm wrong.

    I wonder what the weight is too. I think it can make an awesome hammock though.

    The black crinkle fabric that DIY Gear was selling weighs 2.56 oz/sy. I don't know if all crinkle fabrics are created equal but that should give you an estimate.

    DIYGearsupply just started carrying this in pre-cut and hemmed lengths in I think 4 colors. I think they are around 10.5 feet long. Just got them in last week to begin selling.
