Description
VWeave
The VWeave design comprises 600 individual strands of yarn, each 4m long, equating to a total of 2.4KM of yarn. It takes a Lahu weaver 14 days to complete 51 turns on each of the 600 strands (each loop makes two crossings) resulting in approximately 90,000 loops per hammock.
The greater the number of loops in a woven fabric is a direct indication of the quality.
Accessories
Please note the hammock does not come with accessories and these need to be bought separately. S Hooks and Tree Friendly straps are available for purchase on our website.

Colin O Neil (verified owner) –
“These hammocks are wonderful. The very vivid colours and their strong holding power put all other hammocks to shame. The quality of workmanship is outstanding and once you hear about the stories of the people who make them, you can understand the love and effort that goes into such a work of art. I admit that you do pay more for them however as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
Ours is always strung up under our patio and is now a permanent feature. They are extremely comfortable and with the gentle rocking, we have been known to occasionally nod off!
We highly recommend the hammocks from West Coast Hammocks and the great service supplied by Keith and his wife”.
Kind regards,
