Macrame is a Fascinating Ancient Craft
Like knitting, macrame is also a traditional craft. It is a very ancient textile-making skill. Macrame uses knotting technique rather than weaving or knitting to produce either a decoration or a fabric. This technique originated in the 13th century with Arab weavers of hand-loomed fabrics making decorative fringes on shawls, bath towels, and veils by tying knots of the excess thread or yarn along the edges of the finished garment.
