Macrame is the technique of making practical or decorative items using knotted yarn or twine. The practice is actually hundreds if not thousands of years old, and is thought to have been popularised by sailors seeking to stave off boredom on long voyages. It had a brief renaissance in the 1970s and is coming back into fashion now, with its natural materials and chunky textures. You can use pretty much any type of yarn to make macrame crafts, as long as it isn’t too fine – some of the most popular are jute, hemp and cotton. If you’d like to have a go yourself, it’s inexpensive to get started as all you need is some chunky yard, your hands and possibly a mounting ring to hold the piece as you work on it. If you love the look but lack the time, we’ve put together our top 10 macrame hanging plant holders to choose from.
