About the Artform

Macrame is a form of textile production using the process of knotting. Common knots that are used are the square knot and the half knot. The word 'macrame' comes from the Arabian word 'macramia' which gives the meaning of a 'striped towel' or an 'embroidered veil'. Hence, the origin of this art is generally attributed to Arabic weavers of the 13th century.

Any item or piece of home decor made using Macrame gives the item a delicate and bohemian feel. Macrame is used to make wall hangings, pieces of clothing, tablecloths, bedsheets, rugs and much more.
