Juana de Arco Valderas Puch preserves Yucatan's legendary hammock weaving tradition assisted by Taller Maya. Here in Yucatan, we prefer to sleep on a hammock than a bed, explains the skilled weaver. She weaves the lush green cotton hammock by hand, expertly forming discreet diamond patterns. Hand wash by hooking the loops over a clothes hanger, leaving it outside of the basin or bucket. Leave the hammock to dry stretched out, in the shade.
