    Hello! Macrame - Pepperell Braiding Company

    Introduction:

    Macramé is the art of tying knots in cord or similar materials to create decorative items. It has a long history, likely originating with Arabic weavers, and has experienced popularity around the world at countless times in history. Both the United States and Europe experienced a macramé craze in the 1960s and 1970s as it grew to be a popular craft. The most prevalent macramé items, found in most homes, were the plant hanger and the macramé owl, but other projects like lampshades, jewelry, clothes, and wall hangings were also popular. At the height of the trend, Vogue magazine produced a book on macramé, bringing it into the world of high fashion.

    With all the different types of cord available on the market today, macramé is again becoming popular as an incredibly versatile craft. Knot tying can be done with hundreds of different materials, from embroidery floss, ribbon, and yarn to hemp, cotton rope, and braided craft cord. Furthermore, the range of macramé projects is virtually endless. Thin embroidery floss can be combined with decorative knotting techniques to create delicate jewelry pieces, while thick rope can be combined with traditional marine knots to create functional items. This book takes advantage of sturdy craft cord to make home décor and other items that will withstand everyday wear and tear.

    Whether you’re looking for your next home décor project or want a new fashion piece to add to your wardrobe, macramé is sure to get you what you want. Pick a project and get started!
