Macrame wall hanging

Macramé is a form of textile produced using knotting techniques. One of the earliest recorded uses of macramé-style knots as decoration appeared in the carvings of the Babylonians and Assyrians. Fringe-like plaiting and braiding adorned the costumes of the time and were captured in their stone statuary. Though popularity faded over time, it resurged in the 1970s in the form of home decorations, plant hangers, and clothing accessories. By the 1980s, macramé began to fall out of fashion again. Currently, in the 2020s, macramé has regained popularity with fiber artists who share their projects and DIY videos online.
