MACRAME JUTE CORD


Jute is a great material to use for many Macrame projects. You'll find that the natural tone of jute, which is a sandy, light colored brown, will be great for natural projects when you're going to be using objects such as shells, stones, natural beads, and other rustic items. Macrame cord is ready available in both, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Natural fibers like cotton, wool, linen, jute, and hemp are the most common choices. Single-Strand Macrame Cord, the lightest and softest commonly used material. Single strand macrame cord is the thinnest, and one of the most popular, materials used to make fiber art. Just like the name implies, it is made of one twisted strand of natural cotton fiber. Jute twine can be used for many different crafts including crocheting. You can crochet jute twine into coasters, baskets, pot holders, placemats, ornaments, and much more. Furthemore, jute twine can be used for other crafting methods such as bracelets, paper mache projects, keychains, dreamcatchers, and then some! Although you can use any type of cord for Macrame, most fiber artists prefer working with high-quality cotton cords. Not only are cotton cords easy to unravel when you make a mistake (which makes them perfect for beginners) but they also give a gorgeous fringe when combed out. Gather all six strands of jute rope centered above the plant at whatever height you would like. Tie a knot. Now you just need to hang it! Tie one more knot around a hook, rafter, etc. or if you are out of length of rope, thread a hook through your top knot and hang from that. Medium Ropes, 4mm-7mm are perhaps most commonly used, a great size for macramé beginners, more sturdy than the smaller ropes and the perfect size for plant hangers, wall hangings, furniture, lanterns, curtains, rugs, etc. The undyed four-ply Ialwiyo cord is a reliable everyday material that looks great in all kinds of projects, from wall hangings to plant hangers. Made of 100% cotton, it delivers on strength and forms firm, reliable knots, but it's also very soft. Common materials used in macrame include beading cords made of cotton or linen, hemp, leather, twisted nylon and yarn. In recent years, paracord has become another popular material. Beads, charms, links and other accents can be knotted in with the cord to create a wide variety of designs. Today I will show you the three most common macrame knots, the square knot, the spiral knot and the half-hitch knot. By knowing just these three basic knots you will be able to create your own unique piece of macrame that will fit your taste and style. The very, very tightly wound cotton macrame cord is also called "sash cord." Sash cord is a bit stiff to use, and very difficult to unravel, but it is extremely strong, so it's good for weight bearing pieces and if you're looking to add lots of structure to your work. Twines made of cotton, jute, or hemp are functional, attractive, and better for the planet, and can be used for a variety of binding and tying applications both indoors and outdoors. Depending on your vision, twine can either look like an everyday string or be elevated into a sophisticated embellishment.
