Mayan Hammocks from the Yucatan Penninsula in Mexico are available in a veritable rainbow assortment of hues, colors, and combinations. Since they are hand made by creative artisans, no two are exactly alike. As I look at the hundreds of hammocks in the shop I am constantly struck by how difficult it is to adequately describe the various color themes. Simplest, of course, to describe are the beautiful undyed natural hammocks and single color hammocks in blue, green, yellow, red, black, purple and orange. Then there are the two color combinations-some harmonious, like light blue and dark blue, or blue and green. Some a little more vivid like green and yellow, blue and gold, and blue and orange. Then there are the rainbow combinations-some with every color equally dominant, some with the cool color stripes predominating, some with the warmer colors predominating. Then there is the sophisticated herringbone type, interwoven with vibrant, subtle color fields of tremendous beauty, and quite indescribable. In the ordering section I have used these headers to help you order. In the comments section on the final order page there is an opportunity for you to describe further what we can help you find. We do our best! The Mayan colors are primary and secondary--no pinks and pastels--until you get to the Crochet hammocks or Nylon Yucatecan hammocks which have more elaborate palettes. In choosing colors for outdoor use it is helpful to remember that dark colors fade more than light colors, and that in the cotton hammocks, colors may bleed when wet.
And please remember, because each hammock is handmade, there are no two alike, either in size or color. Each hammock is shipped in a clear plastic bag, so you can easily see the quality of the weave and color.When you are ready to order, click on the "Purchase" link below or on the "Mayan Hammocks" link in the sidebar.

In the ordering section we are adding some new terms to help with selection:
Cool Rainbows are combinations of blues, greens, and/or purple, with or without a warm accent color.
Warm rainbows feature orange, yellow and turqoise or red or light green.
Simple multicolors have fewer colors in broader stripes.
Complex multicolors have more colors, thinner stripes and/or some interweaving of adjacent colors.
Richly interwoven multicolors are color on color weaves.
Tropical Multicolors are combinations of three or more bright colors in varying combinations and patterns.
Dot striped tropicolors have stripes which include accent color dots.
A recent designation is the mix of yellow, orange, and red we call "Tequila Sunrise", the warmest way to relax your cares away.
Color patterns shown are typical, but remember that no two are alike. You may express any color preferences in the special instructions area. We will do our best.

Pictured above is the shelf of crochet hammocks. This selection is in constant flux, of course; but this will show you most of what is available. In ordering a crochet hammock you may pick a color from this shelf and describe it and its placement to identify your choice in the special notes section of the order form. We will take it from there.
