Types of Macrame cord

Most shops offer 3 types of Macrame cords: 3-Ply, Single Twist and Braided. These cords are available from 1.5mm up to 9 mm in thickness.

Single Twist Cords: For the Single Twist Cords the soft cotton fibers are all twisted together. Easy to brush out into a gorgeous fringe. Available in 1.5 mm, 3mm, and 5mm.

Triple Twist Ropes (3-ply): The Triple Twist Ropes are made by combining three separate single-twisted parts into a spiral. This firm but soft structure is a real joy to work with and creates a curly fringe. Available in 3mm and 5mm.

Braided Cords: Bobbiny’s Braided Cotton Cords are soft, flexible and the perfect alternative for t-shirt yarn.
Braided cords are not suitable to create a fringe. Available in 3mm, 5mm, and 9mm.

Practice and be patient

Before you start your project, I recommend using some of your Macrame cords to practice the basic knots first.

It will take some time before you figure out the best way to hold & loop your cords and where to place your fingers. If you keep practicing things will speed up really fast. It’s sort of like learning how to play an instrument so having patience really is key here.

Also, make peace with the fact that you will get frustrated and make many mistakes, especially in the beginning.

Luckily, the best thing about Macrame is that you can simply untie your knot(s) and start over. No one will ever know 🙂

BONUS Now that you know how to make the basic knots, you’ll quickly realize that patterns that looked super complex to you at first, are now a piece of cake to recreate!

Use This Pattern to Make a Macrame Purse

This macrame handbag might seem hard to make, but a beginner could complete the project with relative ease since the thread is thicker and the knots are larger. As a general rule, the larger the knot, the fewer you'll have to make.

If you had the time and supplies, you could certainly learn how to knot an entire hammock for your outdoor area. If you do attempt this, make sure your cord is strong enough to withstand body weight. However, you don't need to start from scratch to achieve the look of a macrame hammock. This DIY project from At Home with Ashely focuses the macrame detailing to just the edges.
