"Masaya" Deluxe L Spreader Bar Hammock: All the luxury of a hammock

This spreader bar hammock is one of our best sellers. In fact, every year we have to reorder more. This is great news for us, but some customers have to wait for our restocking. As we only do this twice a year, they might have to wait a little while. We hope that this year our stock forecasts will match the demand. Fingers crossed.

100% handmade: A manufacturing process passed down from generation to generation

First, the artisans twist their cotton using a wooden wheel to solidify the threads that will form the body of the hammock. The threads are then carefully wound around a loom, often made of wood, to create the base of the hammock. Men are often at the helm of this weaving work, although it is true that more and more women are training in this activity.

Weaving the decorative fringes

In our experience, we have always observed that women are the ones who weave the fringes (or "los flecos," as they call them locally). Female artisans are experienced in this field. They weave both traditional and luxurious fringes, using a technique traditionally passed down within the family rather than learned in school. This step is often considered the most important, as the fringes add an elegant touch to the hammock.

Assembly work: Connecting the hammock bed to the fringes

After finishing the weaving of the fringes, the artisans move on to finishing the hammock. This step involves attaching the fringes to the hammock bed, as well as incorporating the wooden bars and wooden ornaments. The wooden bars are securely attached to the hammock with strong knots to reinforce it. Finally, the hammock is carefully washed and dried to make it clean and soft to the touch.

Manufacturing time for a Nicaragua-made spreader bar hammock

The labor time required to make a hammock varies depending on its size and complexity. In general, a standard hammock can take two to five days to make, but our "Masaya" Deluxe L Spreader Bar Hammock can take up to a week or more. The exact time also depends on the number of artisans working on the project, their experience, and their skill level.
