"Pips"
Mountains have a dreamy way
Of folding up a noisy day
In quiet covers, cool and gray.

Surely, God could have made a better way to sleep.
Surely, God never did.
thanks for the feedback
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
I just got my crinkle taffeta table cloth yesterday. Seems pretty rough/scratchy to me. Maybe I've just grown accustomed to the silky smooth feeling of calendared 1.1 ripstop nylon but even my grand trunk ultralight (polyester) wasn't this rough. I'll make the hammock though and see how it is laying in it. It might be totally fine.
some of youse is just more tenderer then the rest. I LOVE my crinkly taffeta.
I dunno, it's a tad warmer feeling than nylon and I don't slide down like ripstop. For a tv room hammock it's not bad. I've got some wrinkled taffeta on order to try that.
You can send me your wasted tablecloths. I'll put whoopies on them and get them to folks that won't know what they're missing. I think I have strap material too.
I got my order this morning. A total of 5 days since the order was placed. Not bad since they had to traverse the pond to get here.
The material does feel a bit firm and scratchy but I think a quick bath in fabric softener should do the trick nicely.
Just made an order. Hopefully this will be a great boy scout project. Boys should be able to have a hammock with suspension under $20.
