I am in the process of making a silk hammock. Forty bucks and some sewing and whipping later, it's a cool hammock. The silk is so light I probably won't know it's in the pack. Not something that will take a huge beating, but I think it will work great with my underquilt or pad for late spring/summer, and be just fine for 70F+ nights or day napping. I may have to find some weights for the edges of the "bugnet" if my idea of cord in a channel around the edge doesn't work out.
