Macrame is knot tying utilizing a variety of
macrame cords both natural (e.g., cotton, wool, hemp, and linen
cords) and synthetic (e.g., nylon, rayon and polypropylene
cords). The origins of macrame go back to ancient times. Any
functional device made of a knotted cord is considered part of
the art of macrame. Nautical, decorative Chinese micro-macrame,
plant hangers and woven chair frames are all areas where a
series of intricately knotted macrame cords make a useful
product!
