The 4-thread mesh of Mexico.
The 4-thread mesh (from one turn or stitch to another, 4 threads cross) is the best weaving for hammocks or hammock-chairs made of netting. Mexico is the place in the world where this mesh was invented. It was several centuries ago with the Mayas who used the fiber of the "Henequen" cactus, a kind of sisal twine. Nowadays, cotton has replaced sisal. Apart from the elasticity of this mesh, its particularity is that, where you sit, where the most weight rests, even after 10 years, the mesh will be as tight as on the first day. Unlike the 2-thread mesh (more common) which ends up loosening, and loosening, and loosening.....
To date, no machine has been designed to reproduce this 4-thread mesh. Maybe one day it will happen, but the exceptional cost of developing the first machine (a few Italian, German or French engineers will work many months on the project) will discourage many Mexican investors, as the hammock market is not very large. For now, it is still a hammock entirely handmade in the homes of the states of Yucatan, Quintana Roo and Chiapas. But the young people no longer want to make hammocks, the people who weave are elderly. One day there will have to be a machine ...!
The pleasure of the artisans is to create different models each time by mixing colors according to their moods. Naturally rather cheerful and jovial, Mexicans tend to assemble colors in bright and warm tones! There are foreign buyers who impose colors on the artisans. What a pity for Mexicans to have to tirelessly weave the same model. These are companies that need standard products for their website. At Tropical Influences, we respect the Mexican tradition and do not impose colors (except and only for the ecru model which you are so fond of). As a result, we spend a lot of time taking photos of unique models. Like this one which, once sold, will immediately disappear from the site.
From time to time, our customers make the following comment: "you offer exceptional products but you do not showcase them enough". The reality is that we take so many photos of unique pieces that we cannot spend time finding many places and situations for our products. If only we could hire a full-time photographer!!!
