    Crinkle Taffeta

    Just took delivery on a 60x126" black crinkle from Tableclothfactory, which was on sale.

    This is going to make a nice 10' winter hammock to go with my Climashield quilt set.

    I just bought a white one to make a winter hammock. I'm trying to decide what to do for suspension this winter. I found whoopies/UCRs to be problematic in freezing rain/sleet.

    Ayup, that happened to me on my one and only hang in single digits.

    But I went inside and grabbed my Warbonnet strap and buckles. They worked great.

    Just hemmed a red one last week, still the most comfortable yard hammock I have had, and they sleep quite well to. Seems every time I make one, one of the grandkids want it.
    If you prepare for failure you will probably succeed.

    Love it. Sleep in one every night.

    What weight is it? I almost wish I had my Dream Hammock made with it.
