Craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation

In Nicaragua, hammock making takes place in small micro-economic units managed and operated by the owner and/or family members, who, in their own interest, are responsible for the management and operation of the business. This hammock is made in Masaya, the main production center for Nicaraguan hammocks. The manufacturing method has been passed down from generation to generation. Discover how our Nicaraguan hammocks are made.
A thick cotton yarn hammock

The production process of the handmade xl hammock begins when the yarn is twisted into chains of different sizes. This process, known as "torcido" (twisting), will allow the yarn to tighten and gain strength. This operation is performed manually, using a wooden wheel. The body of the hammock, woven mainly by men, offers maximum comfort when lying down. The extra-thick ropes allow your back to settle perfectly, ensuring an ideal position once found.
Making the xl hammock on a loom

The yarn is then wound onto a loom, which weaves the hammock lengthwise using a kind of large wooden needle. The yarn is then woven into a large piece that forms the body of the hammock.
A designer xl hammock for a chic and traditional look

In terms of design, traditional Nicaraguan hammocks have beautiful wooden ornaments combined with two very pretty fringes.

A tribute to the legend of Santiago Crater

The Santiago crater of the Masaya volcano is one of the 7 active volcanoes in Nicaragua, with 18 acts of activity recorded since 1520. Unworshipped by the indigenous people who consulted a witch inside, the Spanish conquerors called this volcano the "mouth of hell" and placed a cross to evoke the devil and exorcise the demon.
