Terms: Macram: Macram is an ancient craft. This is a textile-making craft which uses
knots on thread or twine or hemp instead of weaving or knitting. Half knot: basic knot used to create the square and spiral knot
Square knot: created by a series of half knots going in alternating directions
Spiral knot: created by a series of half knots going in a continuous direction
Larks Head knot or Mounting Knot: The Larks Head knot is one of themost basic knots. Used to anchor your cord to a key ring, stick, or other solidobject.
Taut: tight tension-no slack
Impressions: made by pressing clay onto a textural surface.
Jump: a space or gap in macram that allows for a bead or visual interest. Polymer Clay: a sculptable material based on the polymer polyvinyl chloride
(PVC). It usually contains no clay minerals, and is only called "clay" because itstexture and working properties resemble those of mineral clay.
Hemp: soft, durable fiber that is cultivated from plants of the Cannabis genus,cultivated for commercial use.

History of Macram In the 13th century, Arab weavers with hand-loomed fabrics used
macram to knot the excess yarn along the edges of the fabric andmake them into fringes on bath towels, shawls and veils to givedecorative effect.
Along with the Arab weavers products, the macram craft alsotraveled to Europe. Sailors picked up the craft. They started using
macram to decorate the handles of knives and other objects andsell or barter these articles at the ports where the ship would call.
This gave a greater circulation to this craft. It spread all over theworld and in the course of time, it became fashionable. Fashioncircles ofVictorian England and America started using macram
widely to provide fancy trimmings for colored and black costumes.Many other articles such as belts and hammocks also werecommonly made in macram.
In the course of time, the craft of macram fell out of fashion when itwas mass produced and became cheap and was easily available. Nowit has become fashionable again and is gaining popularity.
