Weaving hammocks is an art that takes a sharp eye,a skilled hand and lots of patience.But in Lenwood Haddock’s case,being blind works to his advantage.His trained,sensitive hands are acutely aware of every step of the process.Since beginning his craft in 1986,Lenwood has woven about 145,000 perfect hammocks.
Lenwood lost his sight in 1973,at age 18,during a hunting accident.“My whole working career has been blind,”he says.He first found a job as a woodworker, but when that organization closed,the North Carolina Division of Services for the Blind connected him with Hatteras Hammocks.On his first day of work.“I did a total of one hammock,”Lenwood
recalls,laughing.“And then I came home and lay down to sleep.I lift weights,but I wasn’t as tough as I thought until I started weaving.It takes a lot of energy,and you’re standing up all day.”
In time,however,Lenwood found he had a knack(窍门)for the job.At first he worked on-site at the company,but after a year Lenwood moved his operation to the home workshop where he had worked for 10 years during his woodworking days.
There,he creates dozens of hammocks each week from ropes in a variety of sizes.One day,he realized the step counter on his phone recorded him walking eight miles without ever leaving his shop.
