material for fairy hammocks

Hi am wanting to make some fairy hammocks for dd1 (and myself if I ever need b4 im dun bf!!) what materials do you use?
ive got some pul ,fleece , microfibre , cotton ,terry, old tee shirts, flannel, and some gorgeous colured polyester velour- im waiting for my order of bamboo and hemp fleece and terry to come. would what I have atm do?? and how many layers where does each bit go etc...??
sorry loadsa questions!!!!

old tshirts are good for the absorbancy,
dont like hemp as its too stiff
dont use microfibre as although its fast absorbing, fluids can squish out of it
bamboo and flannel fine for absorbancy

poly velour and fleece good for the top

is your pul the cotton backed type? poly pul can tend to slip...

You might be surprised at how absorbant they are so i wouldnt go mad on the layers,
my lastest ones i made with one layer bamboo fleece, one smaller layer tshirt, one layer polo shirt cotton tshirt fabric,

if they are for night use you may want to make them more hour glass shape so the ends are bigger and maybe more layers.

use your cheaper materials for the first couple you make so you can get a shape you're happy with

thanks - glad you said about the microfibre cos i was gonna use it!!
will give it a go
