Macramé, an ancient art of knotting, originated with the Babylonians and Assyrians and was popularized by Arab weavers in the 13th century. It spread to Europe via Mediterranean trade routes and became a Victorian household staple. The 1960s and 1970s saw a revival during the bohemian movement, and today, macramé is experiencing renewed interest thanks to the DIY trend and social media. Modern crafters emphasize sustainability, using natural and recycled materials to create beautiful, eco-friendly designs.

Macramé uses a variety of basic knots, such as the square knot, half knot, lark's head knot and clove hitch, to create intricate patterns and designs. This versatile craft can produce an array of items, ranging from small accessories like bracelets and keychains to large-scale installations and wall hangings. Its adaptability and the diversity of patterns make macramé a beloved technique for both beginners and experienced crafters.
