MACRAME COTTON ROPE ZERO WASTE 3 PLY - 3 MM

Have you seen those knotted wall hangings making the rounds on Instagram? Those are macrame, a type of textile created using knots and cords.

Macrame originated in the 13th century from Arabic weavers. People have used this art form throughout the ages to create beautiful decorative pieces. Today, crafters use it to make wall hangings, plant hangers, and scores of other macrame projects.

When creating a macrame project, you need a cord or rope to tie the knots with. One of the best types of material to use for macrame is cotton rope.

Cotton is a natural fiber used in various artistic pursuits because of its durability, flexibility, and versatility.

Cotton rope is the material of choice for many makers. Its soft texture makes it easier to work with than other materials. It's also relatively affordable and environmentally friendly. Unlike synthetic materials, like nylon or polyester, cotton is biodegradable.

In addition, macrame cotton rope comes in a range of thicknesses, colors, and textures, so you're sure to find one that best suits your project.

Since it's so easy to work with, cotton rope is an excellent material for beginners. The knots stay in place well and are less likely to unravel compared to macrame string.

Once you master the basics, macrame is a straightforward craft. While it's similar to other handiwork, you don't need to use special tools, like knitting needles or crochet hooks, to create masterpieces.

Instead, you tie knots with your hands using macrame cotton rope. You'll need to master a few common macrame knots, such as the Square Knot, Half Hitch Knot, and Gathering Knot. Once you have these down, you can begin creating your first projects.

Since there is a learning curve as you figure out how to tie each knot and keep things in place, you'll want to start with a simple project. Then, you can try your hand at more complex patterns, such as larger wall hangings or a cute fall pumpkin.

Find the tutorial you’d like to attempt first. Next, gather the macrame supplies listed in the directions. Then, once you’re ready, begin tying the knots. Use a pattern or video tutorial to see which type of knot goes where to complete your project.

If you make a mistake, don't give up! Take a break and come back to it with fresh eyes. Then, untie the part you got wrong and give it another go. Before you know it, you'll be macrame-ing with ease.

With a few basic knots and some quality macrame cotton rope from GANXXET, you’ll be able to whip out many different projects. Beginners can start with simple bookmarks, bracelets, or keychains.
