Macrame is one of the simplest yarn crafts to learn, but it is one that can make a huge impact. One of the greatest things about macrame is its scalability – you can start with a simple keychain and work up to a large wall-hung tapestry, make macrame dolls, plant hangers, personalised picture frames and much, much more. It is the type of craft that can easily be mastered by children and those with arthritic hands, being straightforward and requiring no stitch counting or needle work.
What actually is macrame?
Macrame is the art of creating stunning works of art by strategically tying knots in yarn or rope. By following a simple pattern, it is possible to replicate existing designs in your choice of size and colour, or you can easily freestyle and create a masterpiece of your own design with very little practice or experience.

Macrame is a very forgiving craft as the knots that you tie are easily undone and re-tied if mistakes are made. A great place to start on your macrame journey is with a keychain.
