    Purple/Pink Ripstop

    My sister is thinking of getting a hammock, but only if it's a pretty colour.

    Does anyone know where I can get purple/pink or maybe teal ripstop at a relatively low price?

    Would this be safe to use?
    Ultra Flare Nylon Ripstop 40 Denier
    You can make a jacket of this windbreak fabric, then carry it in your pocket while hiking.

    Machine wash warm on the gentle cycle. Partially machine dry low.
    Content: 100% Nylon, Micro Warp & Weft
    Suggested needles: Microtex 70/10
    Weight/sq yd: 1.75 oz
    or this?

    I would imagine those would both be safe for hammocks. The 1.75 oz would make a sturdier hammock for sure. Ripstopbytheroll has robin-egg blue ripstop in stock. Its a pretty color.

    You could always do a crinkle taffeta tablecloth hammock. They have pink and purple and are very comfy hammocks.

    Here's a pink hammock I made for my wife using a 60x126 table cloth from tableclothsfactory.com. http://www.rockywoods.com/ might have material.
