What is Macramé?
The word Macramé (mid 19th century French) is derived from the old Arabic word macramia (مكرمية) ‘bedspread,’ or from Turkish makrama ‘tablecloth or towel.’
The origin of Macramé can be traced back to Arabic weavers during the 13th century. A macramé is a coarse lace or fringe made by knotting threads or cords in a geometrical pattern. It involves the art of tying knots in patterns.
Macramé is a textile produced using knotting rather than weaving or knitting techniques. Materials used in Macramé include cords made of cotton twine, linen, hemp, jute, leather or yarn.
Macramé cord or Macramé rope is a group of fibres/strands twisted or braided together, then tied or knotted to form a textile art known as Macramé.
Macramé Rope is usually a three-strand rope (sometimes called 3ply) where the strands are twisted around each other. It is both strong and fringes into a lovely wavy pattern.
Cotton is the softest natural fibre used for macramé cords, making it an extremely famous choice.
