Though in the end I wasn't able to justify buying a hammock, I did check out the little shops where they make them. The yarn is imported from El Salvador, but the wood is crafted right their in the neighborhood and all of the assembly is done in one tiny workshop.
It takes between three and ten of these spools to make a hammock, depending on the type. As you can see, the size varies quite a bit, as do the styles. They even have baby sized hammocks, which reminds me of that children's rhyme, where the wind blows and the baby falls down from the tree.
