The Mexican Hammocks are woven in little huts, by
Mayan women. Weaving a
hammock can take a person a month of work. Many families are dedicated
for life to weave hammocks, this being a traditional way of living.
Every hammock is unique, because each person has their own embroidery frame
and weaving style.
The people from Yucatan sleep in hammocks, because they are very fresh and
comfortable. From the childhood, the mothers accommodate the babies in
hammocks when sleeping, and they make knots in the edges, so the children do
not fall down.
Many tourists that visit Yucatan, think hammocks are not comfortable to
sleep in, but when they lie on them, and rest for a while in it, they end up
taking a hammock back to their country.
People from all over Australia, Europe, Asia, Latin America, United States, Canada,
etc. appreciates its comfort and freshness.
Hammocks are so well known, that there is even a book named Hamaca Sutra.
The Mayan Hammocks are very bright and colorful. Many hotels
around the world use hammocks for
decoration, and to let their customers enjoy the feeling of resting on them.
There are many things we could say about this precious handcraft, but
it is better to try and enjoy the experience of having the Mayan Hammocks at
home.
