Macrame Tips

  • • Always buy 10-20% more cord than calculated
  • • Outer/filler cords use less length than knotting cords
  • • When folding in half, your mounted length is half the cut length
  • • Test your knot density with a sample before cutting all cords
  • • Thicker cord requires different multipliers - start with 3x
