Make Your Own BOO Macramé Letters Wall Hanging!

Equipment Macramé, unlike crochet or knitting, does not require any “needles”. You only need your hands to tie knots.

I use a contemporary styled Macramé cotton cord known as seriously soft - this is available in my shop here. It’s a very fine based loose cord that is easy to use and unravels gently should you want to create beautiful fringe effects or smooth knots
