You undoubtedly saw it on Facebook or on the Internet: knotted shapes cascading through a swath of nubby textures. Well, we're talking about Macram But what is this fascinating art and from where it comes?
It is believed that it started with the Arab weavers in the western hemisphere in the 13th century. The decorative fronts were made with the excess of wool and fibers on the ends of hand-held blankets, veils and chamois.
What I consider to be fascinating is that this art became famous thanks to the sailors. They were credited with expanding it through the ports they stopped into different countries. They carved knives, bottles and other things on the ship and used them in exchange of something that they wanted or needed when they landed. Around the 19th century, even sailors rendered ceilings and hammocks with a process called "line knotting."
However, the main characteristic of Macram is its practicality. And if you want to know more about it and how you can start with the first projects, you are in the right place
Macram is a technique or method of manufacturing a textile which uses many knots to shape a piece of basic forms and functions. Each knot can be created with your hands and no tools other than a mounting ring are required to keep the item in place.
To be known as a Macram , the module should include at least one Macram knot. In most cases, Macram projects with several knots are split together. In other instances, Macram components can be paired with other techniques such as weaving or knitting.
Cotton twine, cotton, cloth, or nylon are commonly used in Macram . While variations exist, the primary knots are the square knot, full hitch and double hitch. Jewelry is often made as knots and is mixed with crystals, rocks, rings or gemstones. You will note that they are made using Macram when you look at most of the friendship bracelets worn by school children.
