Nœud d’accroche

Tout en préparant la boucle d’accroche qui servira à fermer le bracelet, l’objectif est simplement de mettre en place les fils:
– les 2 fils de trame, ou fils guides, de 50 cm au centre
– les 2 fils extérieurs de 1m de chaque côté

• Nouer les 4 brins ensemble en faisant un noeud simple. Bien serrer le noeud à 12 cm des extrémités du haut.

• Avec un adhésif, fixer sur la table les 4 brins en haut puis les 2 brins de trame en bas.

What are the Tools Used in Macrame? The Complete Checklist

Macrame is a crafting technique involving knotting cords or strings to form intricate patterns and create decorative items. Getting your tools right can help you be more creative and finish your macrame pieces quicker.

Here are the standard tools used in macrame and why you need them.

Macrame cord or string

A macrame cord or string is the primary material used in a macrame. You can make macrame from cotton, jute, hemp, or nylon.
Macrame cords are available in various colors, thicknesses, and styles. You can easily buy them either in physical or online stores.

You must check first the requirements of your macrame project before buying your cord. The size or thickness of your rope should be proportionate to the macrame project you are making.

You will need thicker cords for bigger macrame projects like wall hangings than for tinier ones like jewelry.

Scissors

It would be best to have scissors when creating a macrame. Sharp scissors are essential for cutting the cord to the desired length.

Sharp scissors are also helpful in neatly cutting the ends of your strings or cords. A sharp and sturdy pair of scissors is a good investment if you need to cut different types of yarns for your various projects.

Tape Measure

A measuring tape is essential to measure the lengths of strings you need for the project. You also need this tool to measure the wall space for your macrame wall hangings.

With a measuring tool on hand, you will be sure that you can make the knots in your macrame equal in size.

Metal Comb or Brush

If your macrame project has feather designs and fringes, you will need a metal comb to remove tangles and comb out the cords to achieve your design. A metal brush is the best option to separate the ropes of your macrame to create a lovely fringe or tail.

You can also use a pet comb which is equally sturdy as a metal comb, to untangle your cords. Just make sure it is an unused one.

S-Hooks

Using an S-hook when making a hanging macrame will make your work easier. S-hooks are excellent tools for macrame as they allow you to hang your project as you work on it. Creating neat and well-ordered knots can be tricky if your project is flat.

Do you need a needle for macrame?

You do not necessarily need a needle or hook for macrame. You can create macrame with your two hands and a bit of creativity.

You only need to learn to knot your cords and be creative as much as possible. You will only need tools like an embroidery needle or crochet hook when your macrame pattern requires some fine detailing to finish off.
