Picking the right COLOR
Mayan hammocks are usually woven from seven basic colors...red, yellow, purple, sky blue, royal blue, leaf green, and dark green. Other colors are rare. (We generally stay away from pink.)

Cotton hammock colors tend to be softer and more soothing. 
 Nylon colors are more vibrant and much brighter.

Most traditional hammocks have bold alternating stripes or a less common herringbone weave, in which the colors are blended more gently.

To a Mexican hammock aficionado, the more colors, the better...so a seven color stripe would be more highly prized than two simple alternating colors. Ordering a "rainbow" will always get you a bright and colorful hammock.

TIP Ramona also has "natural" hammocks (in some cotton sizes), which are an off-white (almost beige).  They are rare and highly prized.  


My two most popular hammocks are the "Marina" and the "Tequila Sunrise."
They are available in both cotton and nylon.

And please remember, because each hammock is handmade (often in different villages), no two hammocks are alike...in exact size OR color.

Feeling adventurous?  When ordering, select "Ramona's Choice," and she will personally pick her prettiest hammock just for you.
