What is a Macra-Weave?
Macraweave combines the crafts of macrame knotting with weaving to create eye-catching projects that really pop with texture


A little bit about the process of this macra-weave wall hanging. Sometimes I do a little design sketch before I get started. But usually I'm going only by a rough idea of what I wanted to do and let the material guide me along the way.
This was the case for this wall hanging as well. I knew the color palette I wanted to work with and that I only wanted to use cotton fibers and utilize the looped rya technique more for some fluffy texture. There we go! Sometimes this method takes a little longer because you are creating without a script. This wall hanging took me about 16 hours to complete.🧑


Here are the different techniques I used:

~ Macrame ~

β€’ larks head knot
β€’ double half hitch knot


~ Weaving ~

β€’ twining
β€’ tabby
β€’ looped rya


Here are the fiber suppliers I use:

I'm not affiliated with those companies but I really love their high quality eco friendly fibers that I know are sustainably sourced.
