CORDS: Macramé The words derives from the Turkish (or Persian or Arabic) for fringe. Macramé is knots; mostly half hitches and square knots. It was very popular in the sixties, and is back around. This time, chokers knotted from hemp twine and decorated with beads are a very big favorite. Hemp and linen are especially good for knotting; they are not too slippery to hold knots, or too skinny to manipulate. There are many other cords that will work well; see the jute in the basketry section, the waxed cotton and the white cotton blend cords in this section. The T-pins below, and the netting shuttles, listed with the hammock and netting materials, are very handy. THE MACRAMÉ BOOK by Helene Bress (pbKN24, paperback, 148 pages) A re-design of the book first published in 1972. Knots, materials, shaping and finishing techniques, projects — with diagrams and photos. And a full-color inspirational gallery. Comprehensive and very pleasing coverage.
