barbecue summer predicted

JUNE: Starts with fine weather. Rain mid-month but temperatures warm to very warm. Changeable later in month with fine conditions although some heavy rain to finish.

JULY: Starts unsettled with some rain, then dry through mid-month with warm to very warm temperatures, lots of sunshine and light breeze. Humid towards end of the month with thunderstorms and possible flash floods.

AUGUST: Thunderstorms quickly replaced by unbroken sunshine which may cause record temperatures. Warm mid-month but broken up by unsettled periods. Good weather towards month end before showery, cooler conditions move in.

This is not from the discredited met office who were wrong last year.

i heart hammocks!



Happy Valentines Day!

It's been quite a while since we posted on here, apologies for the wait, but we thought today would be a good opportunity to let you know what's going on in Hammock Heaven!

Although there's a slight twist this time as we will be looking at our OTHER hammock site, MyHammock.co.uk

Over the next few days you will be seeing a whole new set of hammocks appearing, courtesy of our friends at Jobeck. Why not have a quick look to see what's new? More is being added every day too.

Don't forget we still offer free shipping, and you can have your order in just a few days time!

All the best,

All at Hammock Heaven/MyHammock

A bit far fetched...


Imagine if you will, the end of the world. Nuclear war has destroyed the cities of Earth, and the heat was so great that it melted the Polar ice caps in one go. Humanity has to adapt to the new conditions. Little islands of humanity are all that is left.



Thats what happened to these two. Luckily Mrs Arkleton and Mr Percival had both coincidentally bought floating loungers the day before from Hammock Heaven, so they could ride the apocolyptic tidal wave to safety! Lucky for them that we have Free Next Day Deliveries!

Unfortunately Mr Percival was always a bit cheap, so he got the chair instead of the lounger, and a big scary mutant shark ate his legs later that day. Just goes to show, doesn't it...

I'm off for a lie down...have a nice weekend everybody!

Rain rain, go away...

Hello there,
Depending on where you are you may be feeling a little under the weather recently... under the rain clouds to be precise. But did you know that hammocks are not only meant for the garden, they also look great indoors too!



Shown here is the lovely Rio hammock, and as you see its not woven flat as most other hammocks...the weaving technique for this one is called 'Jacquard Weave' which means its ultra soft and comfy to sit in.

Have a look at it on our site today, and if you like what you see, it can be with you tomorrow!

Our number, in case you have any questions, is (UK) 0208 123 0557

How not to return a hammock !

If you want to return something , then we are happy to refund you in full. It is not a problem. You should not feel it is a risk to buy something from us. And, as we do not charge for shipping - all the money you paid to us will be returned.

However, and I thought this was quite funny... if you are returning something , please package it so it will get back to us safely. Goods that are damaged on route will not be refunded.
We received this hammock back today... unbelievable!

Out with the old, in with the New!


Hello all,
Its been a while since I promised you new exciting developments in the Hammock Heaven world, but whilst it may seem like I've just been sitting around in comfort all day, in reality we've been snowed under (ironically!) with orders as the sun has shown his cheery face after a long long winter!
There are more newcomers to the site yet to be unveiled, but for now I'd like to draw your attention to some new hanging chairs...the Brasil Hanging Chair range has been updated with some great new colours.
My personal favourite is this one...


But there are plenty of others, so if you don't agree there are bound to be others you like instead.

'Til next time, hope you are enjoying the sun!

Best regards from all at Hammock Heaven

Incoming...


Hello all,
We are busily working on a revamp of the Hammock Heaven site, in preparation for Spring 2009!

You may have noticed the other hammock sites out there, and something we've always been proud of is the summery nature of ours, so we are looking to incorporate everything you've come to know and love, but with a colourful new twist.

There should be plenty of new items and colours too!

Keep your eyes on this space!

All the best

KELSYUS® FROM SWIMWAYS® WINS 2009 PRODUCT OF THE YEAR AWARD
IN OUTDOOR PRODUCTS CATEGORY

Kelsyus® Original Canopy Chair™ Voted Best in Category
by U.S. Consumers for Durable, Innovative Design

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA - January 23, 2009 - SwimWays®, a leading manufacturer of pool and outdoor recreational products, is proud to announce they have received the prestigious 2009 Product of the Year Award in the Outdoor Products Category from Product of the Year USA for the patented Kelsyus® Original Canopy Chair™. The Original Canopy Chair, known for its portability and durability, is one of only 16 Product of the Year Award winners.

With a 22 year international track record, Product of the Year makes its debut in the U.S. this year. The U.S. program is the largest consumer-voted award for innovative consumer packaged goods in the nation, with more than 100,000 U.S. consumers voting on products via a survey from the research company TNS. All products in the running for the Product of the Year title need to have launched in the previous 18 months, with one winner chosen from a variety of different product categories.

"Consumers have a lot of options when they're shopping for outdoor gear," said Monica Jones, marketing director at SwimWays. "We're flattered that in the survey of more than 100,000 U.S. shoppers, the Kelsyus Original Canopy Chair™ was voted the most innovative product in its category."

"Kelsyus products are engineered to solve outdoor enthusiasts' everyday problems and each product is designed to be hassle-free, portable and durable," continued Jones. "The Original Canopy Chair meets the needs of those on the go, from the mountains to the beach, the ball field to the backyard."

"The Product of the Year Award helps shoppers to recognize those products that are true standouts among the thousands of choices available," said Colleen Kelly, managing director of Product of the Year USA. "Consumers weighed in on different aspects like function, design, and value, and agreed that the Kelsyus Original Canopy Chair deserves to be called a Product of the Year."

The Kelsyus Original Canopy Chair is all you need to sit back, relax and enjoy the view, wherever
(more…) you may be. From sporting events to the beach, the campfire to the backyard, the oversized captain's chair invites you to take a seat and relax. The attached waterproof canopy offers protection from the elements and when the chair is folded down and closed, the canopy becomes the carry bag with two padded shoulder straps for hands-free portability. Utility pockets under the canopy are sized just right for storing the essentials and a cup holder lets you sip your favorite beverage. The chair's steel frame adds durability and can support up to
250 lbs. Available in blue, red, green or Camo, the Kelsyus Original Canopy Chair can be found at www.hammockheaven.co.uk
Engineered to keep up with the millions of people who love to get out and get going, Kelsyus brings high-tech, high-performance Intelli-Gear™ to outdoor enthusiasts everywhere. Durable, lightweight materials and smart design make portability a snap while details like built-in cup holders, breathable fabrics and canopy shades with UV protection add comfort and style to every outdoor excursion. Kelsyus gear eliminates the hassle of set-up with gear that takes 60 seconds or less to assemble. That means less time setting up and more time having fun.
Kelsyus has something for adventurists of all ages. New colors, fabrics, styles and products differentiate the innovative 2009 Kelsyus line from other outdoor gear on the market. Kelsyus products - known for their trend-forward styles - are blue all over in 2009. Blue is the new green and an iconic reminder of clear skies and pollution-free waters - conditions every outdoorsman seeks.

Cowhides!!


Hello all!

We are glad to say that our long-awaited stock of Cowhides has arrived, and are all now proudly displayed on our site. We've had a lot of people asking about them, so why not go and have a look what all the fuss is about?

Funnily enough, the demand for the Reindeer hides has slowed down a little now...strange that Reindeer hides would be at their most popular over Christmas each year!

But enough of that...


More soon!

Ps. Don't forget to pop on over to Hammock Heaven while you're online for all your hammocky needs!

Aaaargh matey!

I can't work out how many Pieces of Eight the Stowaway hammock costs, but it's not many. If you've always fancied an open rope hammock, now is the time to get one as it's one of our Special Offers!

One of the best things about the Stowaway is that it folds down small and comes with it's own carry bag, so it's perfect for travelling with.

I have a million piratical puns, so I hope you are all appreciating my restraint!
Now go over to Hammock Heaven...or else it'll be the plank for you!

Have a nice evening everyone!

Kind regards

Full o' Beans

For those of you lucky enough to have spacious lofts or nice wide living rooms, why not splash out on some real luxury and have the worlds comfiest beanbag hanging from your ceiling?
Le Beanock comes in a few different colours and sizes, so you don't actually have to have a penthouse suite to be able to have one. Luckily.

Go take a look at this and more on Hammock Heaven!

Staycation

We used to have a caravan in our back garden when I was small, and us kids would pretend we were on holiday whenever it was sunny. We'd sit in deck chairs (which was ironic as when we actually did go away anywhere, we'd never sit still) and pretend we were away from the daily grind (of Junior school...)

Judith Wood, writing for the Daily Telegraph, has a similar idea. Holidays abroad can be costly stressful affairs, so for those with money or time issues why not treat yourself to a holiday at home? Judith has a list of luxuries that can give you that relaxing break in the comfort of your own home, and we are pleased to say that our lovely Aruba Cayenne hammock is in there, along with the Apollo stand.

If you'd like to read Judiths article (and it is an entertaining read!) you can follow the link below.

"There can be only one..."

Well, you CAN have more than one rug if you like, we don't mind.

So, did we name our lovely new line of rugs after the worst film ever made, after an area of Scotland, or did we just use a random impressive sounding word?

Answers on a postcard to the usual address. There may be a prize!



You can see more of the Highlander here, along with our other styles.

If you mention Christopher Lambert I might give you 5% your order too.

Hammock in the Headlines

Keep your eyes peeled people...the Aruba Cayenne hammock and Apollo stand will be featured in the Daily Telegraph newspaper this week, so if you want to get an idea of how to spend your summer holidays, look no further.

We've been in quite a few magazines and newspapers, in a few countries, but it's still exciting each time we see it on the shelves, next to all those famous people. We like to think we're at home amongst all those exclusive types...

I would photoshop Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolies heads onto our models bodies to show you what great company we keep, but I think we might get sued. So I won't.

Instead, here's a photo of our Apollo Set...it's the Apollo stand with a Lambada hammock, for those of you who want a subtler colour than the bright stripes found elsewhere.


The Apollo Set has everything you need, no extra ropes or hooks required. And it can be with you tomorrow! Call us on 0208 123 0557 if you like, or visit us at www.hammockheaven.co.uk

Summer, as seen from a hammock

Welcome back to our blog! Today we are going to talk about summer. Summer and ...hammocks. It seems like the world in general is liking the Aruba Cayenne hammock so far this year, and it's a good choice in our opinion. It's rich red in colour with stripes in yellow and dark blue, and all in all lends itself nicely to lazing around in the garden with a glass of wine, watching the world drift by.



Sound tempting? It could be how you spend tomorrow! Give us a call and we'll do the rest.

(Our number is 0208 123 0557. Sorry, wine not included.)

Pure Silk Scarves moving fast


These pure silk scarves are made in India, in Varanasi to be precise.

Some might say that the healing power of the ganges has added to their beauty.

There are 27 styles of these wonderful silk scarves in stock and they are moving fast, so if you like them, you should visit www.mypashmina.co.uk today.

The price is either £16.99 or £27.99 which is excellent value.

Products Labeling Act of 1939 with more precise definitions of cashmere and superfine wool.

This is in the US. But pretty sure the standard will be adopted glbally soon.. The new law will not only protect consumers from deceptive labels, but manufacturers also benefit in having clear guidelines to prevent potential violation or product recall by the Federal Trade Commission. All the cashmere and wool products manufactured on or after 1st January, 2007 must comply with the act.

Cashmere was previously defined simply as "hair or fleece from the genuine Cashmere goat". In the latest regulation
additional diameter measurements were set: the mean fiber diameter must be less than 19 microns; the coarse hair (exceeding 30 microns) must be less than 3% by weight of the product; and the coefficient variation of diameter has
to be less than 24%.

So for real cashmere , just visit www.mypashmina.co.uk .

New Silk Scarves on Mypashmina.co.uk

We have some new silk scarves available from today for you to buy.

They are made in Varanasi (India), and they are very nice to look at. Most of them have intricate jacquard weaves, and are woven in a clever way to show different colours from different angles.

Hopefully the picture on the left demonstrates this point.

These silk scarves cost either £16.99 or £27.99 depending on size and are worth a look.

Maoists Look Set to Win Nepali Elections

I'm not sure how a party that takes the name of arguably the biggest mass murderer of the 20th century gets elected. To me it sounds like calling your party the hitlerists or similar.

Anyway, they are likely to take control of Nepal. Hopefully their policy's are not like those of Mao. But I am worried that they are based on his ideas, and them being in power will spell disaster for Nepal.

Back from Kathmandu

Originally uploaded by ramstorp270

We have just got back from Kathmandu and India. It was a surpise visit for the guys at the factory. We wanted to check everthing was kept up to standard when nobody knew we were coming. It was 100% good.

We also looked at a pashmina factory of a backup supplier, and it was awful. So we have told him that we wont order from him unless he sorts out the conditions.

Other than that, we checked out some of our new 80% Bamboo / 20% Cashmere designs (www.banavata.com) and have lots of new items in this wonderful material due in approximately 6 weeks.

The dyers in Kathmandu are right now busily making 1000 shawls in different colours to chop up and use in our new swatch books. We have carefully selected 118 brand new colours , and will make them available as custom options very soon.

more soon..

Trouble continues in Nepal


KATHMANDU , Feb 18
The shutdown on its sixth consecutive day followed by curfews in different places has worsened the situation in the restive southern plains on Monday.Shortage of daily essential commodities is being experienced with the strike showing no sign of respite

This is a problem for all manufacturers and indeed all people with jobs.

"do you know here is electricity cut off 8 haur every day.
no LPG supply ( how to cook or how to colour the pashmina?
No petrolium supply
no transportation" - how can the pashmina business function under these conditions.

Tuesday, 12 February 2008

Last Minute Valentines Day Pashminas

Well I wonder how many people will leave it to the last minute to order a lovely valentines gift this year.

Royal mail special delivery is probably the best and most reliable guaranteed next day service there is.

So because of this, i think people leave gift ordering later and later. The mail system almost gave up this Christmas, but everyone still got their pashminas in time.

Bamboo & Cashmere V-Neck


Here is a ladies v-neck made from 80% Bamboo and 20% Cashmere.

It is not available yet, but will be soon.

It feels amazing.

The yarn is very fine - 60 count. That means that 60 meters of the yarn weighs just one gram.

There are so many benefits to wearing bamboo, you will have to read about them at www.banavata.com !

Thanks to our customers for the donations











Just before I started Mypashmina and dealing with cashmere and pashminas, I spent 6 months in Nepal. I came accross a really good charity that helps to keep kids in school. They do some really good work in a direct and efficient way (no toyota land cruisers, hotel confernces and all that crap). Please see www.namastebanepa.com to find out more.

So since the beginning, we have had links on the checkout pages of our websites - mypashmina.co.uk and hammockheaven.co.uk giving customers the chance to donate.

Between February 7th last year and February 11th this year our lovely customers have donated £1589. Nine generous donations were for £50 , so as promised, I will also give £50 for each one of those.

This means the total heading for Namaste Banepa today is £1996.15 ($3878.05) .

This is about 30% less than last year which is a bit depressing. But on a positive note it is enough to pay for the books, clothes and other costs neccessary to keep 25 children in school for a year.

If you are interested to help, please see www.namastebanepa.com where you will also find a video.

Plane crashed on the road we drive home on !

Lucky we went home a bit early yesterday, otherwise Mypashmina.co.uk might be no more, and everyone would have to buy their cashmere and pashminas from somewhere else.

This little plane crashed on the E45 , the main road from Gothenburg in to the north of Sweden at 19:48 yesterday. It hit a car. We had driven passed the exact spot just 30 minutes earlier.

Incidentally, the E45 starts (as the A45) at Bedford in England, and after Harwich , it contines in Denmark and then in Sweden to the very north. How dull is that ?

Airboard reviewed on Ski Sunday



Review of the airboard on Ski-Sunday. 80 kmph on his first day. Available from www.snowhead.co.uk !

New - 100count superfine pure cashmere pashmina


Here is some advance notice of a very exciting new product.

It is made form 100count cashmere. Basically the number of count is the number of meters of fibre that weighs 1 gram. So 100count means that 100 meters of cashmere fibre weighs 1 gram. i.e. it is a very thin fine thread indeed.

The usually count for knitwear is 28count, or on fine lightweight knitwear for summer we often use 60count.

Anyway the scarf shown above is made from 100 count. It feels amazing and even has a sheen (it is pure cashmere). And by a clever combination of warps and wefts we have made some lovely colours and subtle effects. These will be available in 5 colour combinations and the price will be approximately £85. - see www.mypashmina.co.uk on 15th March

It is 70% Cashmere and 30% Silk and measures 45x200cm. The price ? Only £38.50 with free delivery.

Where from ? www.mypashmina.co.uk of course !

Jeremy Beadle passes away


Television presenter and prankster Jeremy Beadle has died aged 59.

One of ITV's most popular hosts during the 1980s, he was admitted to hospital last week suffering from pneumonia.

He was best known for fronting You've Been Framed, Game For a Laugh and Beadle's About, but raised millions for the charity Children with Leukaemia.

Former You've Been Framed producer Dianne Nelmes said he was known for his pranks, "but in reality he was the kindest person you could ever meet".
