What should I use for macrame?
If you are making wall hangings, bracelets, or things that don't need to hold weight, your choices don't matter as much. Almost anything can be used for macrame in those cases - but we recommend a thicker yarn or cord for beginners learning their macrame knots!
If you want to make something like a plant hanger, we strongly recommend using a cotton cord like Rico Creative Cord, which was designed specially for macrame. Other cotton, hemp, and jute style yarns are also a great choice, but make sure they have a high twist, rope like appearance so it won't unravel!
We also love Wool and the Gang Buddy Hemp for more intricate hangers, this was also developed with macrame in mind.
What can I use macrame for?
