Historically, this type of hammock is only made by the artesanas in Bolívar, the local women who are masters in traditional crafts. Many of the women in the region's villages have their own weaving loom. Prior to the weaving, the cotton yarns are dyed by hand with natural pigments. Salts and Almidon generate starch to bind the bright colours. Just the preparation of all the materials takes three days, while the production of each hammock takes seven days
