Question

What is the load rating for use as a hammock?

Carolyn –
it will be weight rated at 200lbs and if you are making a hammock out of the Ion fabric I would recommend the uncalendared as it will be more breathable.

I bought some Ion in Moroccan blue to make a hammock sock. I like the feel of this fabric. As mentioned, it lets a lot less light through than other fabrics of similar weight. It is easy to work with, although it does like to fray on cut ends. Use a hot knife if you have one, otherwise you will want to overlock edges. looked like I was turning into Cookie Monster with all the blue threads that frayed off as I was working on the sock. I did a stuff sack, using the hot knife, and it was much better.
Thanks for innovating, Dutch!

Do you still sell the uncalendared version of ion? Is this coated with any chemical treatment (dwr or similar)? Finally, are there any special washing/care instructions? Thanks!

I’m looking to make sheet for my sleeping pad (sheet is between me and pad). Would you recommend the calendared or uncalendered for this?

Carolyn –
Either would work for you as it is not being used in conjunction with down.

Nylon or Polyester?

It is super soft nylon taffeta. We have had it for a while and it has been getting great reviews from the vendors. It has a very tight weave and the calendared version is downproof. We are also using it for hammock bodies because it is so soft.

I bought this for the inside of my diy quilt. Which side will be on my skin? The shiny or dull side?

You would want the dull side against your skin.

Great Product, Great ServiceI really like this new fabric. It has a very soft hand, and it’s a great price. I also really like the fact that it is opaque.
Most of the UL fabrics that we DIY’ers have access to are all fairly transparent. I don’t mind that most of the time but this type of fabric really gives our projects a different, and sometimes, a more professional look.
It also helps that we don’t have to worry about matching threads for anything that’s on the inside of the project, such as insulation quilting/stabilizing stitch lines, serger thread colors, etc.
I would love it if this fabric came out in additional new vibrant colors such as reds, yellows, greens blues, etc.
Overall, this is a great product. Strongly recommended.
Kudos, too, for DutchWare’s amazing service. I accidentally forgot to include my unit number and the package could not be delivered. Dutchware immediately sent it back upon its return there. Great company!

On the spec page it says the HH is 0. Is it correct that this fabric is not at all water resistant?
