Handcraft handed down from generation to generation
In Nicaragua, hammock manufacturing takes place in small, micro-economic units managed and operated by the owner and/or members of his family, who, in their own interests, are responsible for managing and running the business. This hammock is made in Masaya, the main production center for Nicaraguan hammocks. The manufacturing method has been handed down from generation to generation. Find out more about how our Nicaraguan hammocks are made.
A thick cotton yarn hammock
The production process for the handmade xl hammock begins when the thread is twisted into shackles of various sizes. This process, known as "torcido" (twisting), will enable the thread to tighten and gain strength. This operation is carried out 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 thread is then wound onto a loom, which weaves the hammock lengthwise using a kind of large wooden needle. The thread is then woven into a large piece that forms the body of the hammock.

A tribute to the legend of Santiago Crater
The Santiago crater of the Masaya volcano is one of Nicaragua's 7 active volcanoes, with 18 acts of activity recorded since 1520. Revered by the natives 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.
