What is macrame ?

To summarize, macrame is a traditional technique of weaving strings or ropes that are successively tied by hand. Created by Arab weavers in the 13th century, macramé then developed in Spain and the rest of Europe. Today, macramé is a great fashion phenomenon and has become a must-have decoration accessory in recent years. You want to give a bohemian chic look to your interior? Go for macrame !

The most famous nodes 

As far as knots are concerned, there is a wide variety of them depending on the project. In fact, some macrame professionals challenged themselves to create a different knot every day for a year... and they succeeded! Moreover, if you combine several different knots together, the possibilities of creation become infinite.

There are 3 types of nodes that we characterize as "basic nodes" to know:

• the lark's knot : the knot that we learn at the very beginning in order to start weaving on a support;
• the overhand knot : knot made from 4 different ropes, there are several variations of this knot;
• the rod knot : knot made from 2 ropes, one stretched and the other tied.
