I used a 10 dent reed and sett it using a "cram and space" threading. I sett it at 12 epi, threaded the yarn at 2 ends per dent - twice and then skipped a dent. (2, 2, skip) Each group of 4 threads made it fairly easy to do a leno lace pickup. For added interest, I also used a huck lace threading, making 2 inch square huck lace blocks, alternating with plain tabby threading.

Cut off the loom and hemstitch the ends. Fold each end over to form a tube wide enough to put a metal rod through and hang.

An alternate method of hanging would be to leave about a yard of warp unwoven at each end. Braid the warp ends and use them for hanging the hammock. You will need to add additional warp for this.

Hemp yarns can be a bit difficult to find sometimes. Some hemp yarn sources are listed in our library. If you are unable to find hemp, you can substitute with a linen yarn of a similar weight.
