    Pink Camo ripstop woes

    So I have nearly succeeded in converting my wife to hanging but I have hit one major roadblock. She wants a pink camo hammock. I have been searching the net for the last 2 days and have had no luck finding a pink camo ripstop source. The closest I've found was on rockywoods and it is a 600 denier with would be a tad on the thick and canvas-y side. I have found some pink camo grosgrain and some pink ripstop so I may sway her that way if I have to. Has anyone had any luck finding this mythological beast?

    I know, I know, but she's being girly and wants pink camo. What can I say?

    I have some pink digital camo polyester taffeta I got from JoAnne's in the "Red Tag" area. You have to dig to find stuff, since everything's all jumbled together, but there's some really cool stuff in there. I've got some patterned tulle that's pretty cool as well.

    It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    Formerly known as Acercanto, my trail name is MacGuyver to some, and Pucker Factor to others.

    It's not procrastinating, its proactively delaying the implementation of the energy-intensive phase of the project until the enthusiasm factor is at its maximum effectiveness. - Randy Glasbergen

    True Timber makes a beautiful "Snowfall pink" but it appears to be only the heavy duty stuff.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

    I'm not sure, I have no experience, but I'll send you a sample of the 30D ACU from Magna if you wanna try dying it.

    hmm now there's a thought, how about the white urban camo style? I bet that'd take pink dye and come out pretty convincing. Off to google I go!

    After searching for a little bit I was not able to find any pink camo ripstop, the closest that I was able to find is cotton fabric. I found some on ebay and some HERE

    That's the stuff I mentioned. It is listed for medium weight drapery and/or light weight upholstery. Not exactly backpacking weight. I would guess it is the 600D stuff you found or close to it.
