Let’s get started!
Make Your Own BOO Macramé Letters Wall Hanging!
Equipment Macramé, unlike crochet or knitting, does not require any “needles”. You only need your hands to tie knots.
I use a contemporary styled Macramé cotton cord known as seriously soft - this is available in my shop here. It’s a very fine based loose cord that is easy to use and unravels gently should you want to create beautiful fringe effects or smooth knots
Supplies
2 Colours of 5mm Seriously Soft Single Ply Cotton Cord

Dressmakers Scissors
Comb or wire pet brush
a wooden dowel or stick
