Macrame
The ancient rope tying craft of macrame has remained popular for thousands of years.
Macrame is a type of craft that involves tying knots over and over again to create a strong or intricate design. With records that date back to ancient Mesopotamia and evolve over the centuries, when you pick up your cord and learn your first knots, you’re developing your version of a craft that spans hundreds of generations.
