Macrame The

Good book. The measurements given are very helpful.

Almost created everything in this book!Really easy to follow and suitable for beginners, as well as those looking for inspiration. Lovely illustrations too. The only thing I would say is, I have found I didn't need to use as much cord as it recommends. To reduce wastage at the end I would recommend using 50cm less on each working cord.

I was a complete beginner to macrame and got this book to learn and make some projects.I have loved this book a lot, I've made a few of the projects so far and been very happy with how they all turned out. As a total beginner I did find some of the instructions on certain knots difficult to interpret, but of course it is sometimes difficult to convey practical things on a page. After reading the instructions a few times I managed to figure it out.On the other hand the instructions for the projects themselves are very easy to follow.I have found (like one of the other reviewers) that the stated lengths of cord have been too long and I've been left with a lot of leftovers so I have cut the lengths down myself, however this may be a personal thing to do with how tightly I knot.Overall I would highly recommend this book.

I love this book- just right for one year on in my macramé learning. I would say it’s a bit advanced for a beginner , you need a basic book with basic knots and projects and a bit of practise under your belt otherwise you might struggle here. I’ve got a good grasp of the basics and have made many items so now ready for more challenges and this book unravels the mystery of how to make some of the amazing things I see on Instagram . I made the tree of life macramé ring in one evening using the instructions- the step numbered diagrams are good and really helped me get through some of the new knots and trickier construction. Lots of projects I want to make. Great book!

A lovely, modern, inspiring book. This is a great book for beginners, as its goes through tools, tips, and skills before patterns at the end. Its very clear where you can customise designs, such as to make a door covering wider. The pictures are really clear and easy to follow to make some really great home decor, and then venture on to your own designs if you like. Not every design is to my taste, but Im definitely wanting to make several of them for starters, so excellent value. The designs range from dream catchers and plant pot holders to full door and bench coverings, with multiple styles for the smaller items to choose from. I have found the all supplies easy to find online - mostly on Amazon! I like to learn at least one new craft each year, and am pretty sure this is the only book I will need on macrame, despite my very large plans ;) !

I macramed for many years in my youth, making alsorts and decided to pick it up again some 40yrs on! This book has been ideal, showing you how to make different types of knots and how to make items ideal for presents or the home.
