Definition: Macrame

“Macramé is a form of textile produced using knotting (rather than weaving or knitting) techniques. The primary knots of macramé are the square knot (a variant of the reef knot) and forms of “hitching”: various combinations of half hitches.”

3-ply cotton rope is perfect for beginners. This is the most popular macrame cord and it’s made from 3 individual strands twisted together to make one rope. It’s very versatile and can be used for any macrame project from wall hangings to clothing to home decorations.

Macrame History

In the 13th century, Arabic decorative weavers used knots to secure the loose ends of woven, hand-loomed textiles into decorative fringes. One of the earliest recorded uses of macramé-style knots as decoration appeared in the carvings of the Babylonians and Assyrians. Fringe-like plaiting and braiding adorned the costumes of the time and were captured in their stone statuary.[
