First home homemade hammock

[trewornan]

Decided I wanted to sleep in a hammock at home as well as when out camping so I made this hammock. Material was 4m of this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Navy-Blue-Wool...item5635e754b5 material, which is mainly wool with about 10% nylon. Whipped the ends with black paracord and used some polyester rope and a couple of steel rings as suspension.

Slept in it for the first time last night - lovely! Very comfortable and the wool is snuggly, no insulation problem. Tucks away neatly during the day no need to waste all that bedroom space on a bed. Very happy in general no real negatives although I suppose I could have made it a good bit shorter (it's at least a meter longer than it needs to be.

Sorry pics aren't great but I lost my camera in Greece and had to use my mobile phone.

I've got a synthetic that feels like a wool blend... thought about making my daughter's sleep-at-home hammock out of that. Might think about it a bit more and just do it, after reading of your success!

Good job, whatever it really looks like! (pics don't link to larger photos...)
