Macramé

Macramé is produced using knotting, rather than weaving or knitting, techniques.
Primary knots of macramé are the square or reef knot and forms of “hitching”: various combinations of half hitches.

These skills have long been used by sailors, artists, craft people and Scouts, especially in elaborate or ornamental knotting forms and to cover anything from knife handles to bottles to parts of ships and by outdoor people for hiking pole handles to hammocks.

Artisans of macramé enjoy using cotton as it is easy to knot and so can transform a project into a one of a kind unique piece and therefore may be a great way to add more handmade items into your home decor. Extremely popular in the Victorian era for decorating and clothing, these days adding macramé in your decor can bring that chic, bohemian vibe into your home.

Above all these projects are not only crafts, they can be artwork.

There are so many uses for macramé such as tablecloths and bedspreads to belts, pet lead and collars, plant hangers, fruit and veggie holders, decorative wall hangings and even jewellery.
