I want to make a hammock, but first question, what kind of rope should I use and second question, what do you think would be the best way to weave/construct it?

I know you call out what you used on the knots, but I never know really what it is or where to find it. I would love to see a post listing the types and where I can get them. <br /><br />Thanks<br />JaceUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887362761379679176noreply@blogger.com
