DIY Hammock crab materials
Hello, I wish to make my hermit crabs a hammock in their tank, I was wondering if you guys could perhaps tell me what you make your hammocks out of so I know what to get. Thanks in advance!
New owner to 8 hermits, two of them belong to my aunt (and some of the others we both own). Hermits from smallest to largest: Dwebble, McShelldon, Crustle, Piggy, Sharkie, Lint. Snappy.

I've also used unbleached cotton rope, and followed https://youtu.be/sRJLAac86hg
Knitting, I alternate knit and purl. It curls up and holds moss pretty well.
If I don't want it to curl, I add knit stitches to every beginning and end of each row. I do this to make something to climb.
