These hammocks or chinchorros are unique pieces; you will not find them in any other store.
In Venezuela a distinction is made between chinchorro and hammock, this difference lies in the type of stitch used.
In the Chinchorro, the weave is made open and in the hammock a tight weave is woven like a cloth.
