MacramÃÆ'Â © is a form of textile produced using knotting techniques (rather than weaving or knitting).
The main macramÃÆ' Â © node is the square node (variant of the coral node) and the shape of "hitching": various combinations of half hitches. It has long been made by seafarers, especially in the form of elaborate or decorative deviations, to decorate anything from the knife handle to the bottle to the vessel.
Cavandoli macramÃÆ'Â © is one of the variations used to form geometric and shape-free patterns such as weaving. The Cavandoli style is performed mainly in one node, a double hitch half node. Reverse half hitches are sometimes used to maintain balance while working the left and right sections of a balanced part.
Leather or cloth belts are other accessories that are often made through the technique macramÃÆ'Â ©. Most friendship bracelets that are exchanged among school children and adolescents are made using this method. Vendors in amusement parks, malls, seasonal exhibitions and other public places can sell jewelry or macrame decorations as well.

History
MacramÃÆ' Â © comes from the 13th-century Arabic word weaver migramah meaning "edge". This refers to the decorative edges on camels and horses that help, among other things, to keep flies from animals in the hot desert areas of northern Africa.
Another school of thought suggests that it comes from the Turkish makrama , "napkin" or "towel", and is a way to secure the ends of woven pieces by using the excess threads and yarns at the top and bottom ends of the fabric the towering ones.
One of the earliest uses of macramÃÆ'Â © - hair speed as an ornament appears on the engravings of Babylonians and Assyrians. Tassels-like woven braids and braids adorn the costumes of time and are caught on the stones of their statues. MacramÃÆ'Â © traveled from North Africa to Spain with the Moors, and as a result of this conquest spread, first to France, and then throughout Europe.
In the Western Hemisphere, makramà © is believed to originate from 13th century Arabic weavers. These craftsmen tie yarn and excess yarn along the edges of hand-stitched fabrics into decorative edges on bath towels, scarves, and veils. The Spanish word macramÃÆ'  © is derived from the Arabic miqramah ( ????? ) , believed to mean "striped towel", "fringe of ornaments" or "embroidered veils". After the Moorish conquest, art was brought to Spain, then to Italy, especially in the Ligurian region, and then spread throughout Europe. It was introduced to England in the court of Mary II at the end of the 17th century. Queen Mary taught art
macramÃÆ'Â © to his maids. Seafarers create makramÃÆ' Â © objects outside the clock while at sea, and sell or barter them when they land, thus spreading art to places like China and the New World. The nineteenth century British and American sailors made hammocks, bell fringes, and belts from macramÃÆ'Â ©. They call the process "square node" after the node they use most often. Seafarers are also called macramÃÆ'Â © "McNamara's lace".
The most popular MacramÃÆ' © in the Victorian era. Sylvia's Book of Macramà © à © Lace (1882), a favorite, shows the reader how to work with rich ornaments for black and colored costumes, whether for home clothes, garden parties, beach ramblings, and balls - fairyike jewelry for households and goods under... "Most of the Victorian houses are decorated by this craft MacramÃÆ' © is used for making household items such as tablecloths, bed sheets and curtains.
Despite the fading craze of macramà ©, it was again popular during the 1970s as a means of making wall hangings, articles of clothing, bedspreads, small jean shorts, tablecloths, curtains, plant hangers and other furniture. In the early 1980s the macrame began to come back out of fashion as a decoration trend. Macramà © jewelry has become popular among young and old Americans, beginning in the early 1970s. Using mainly square knots and grandma knots, these jewelry often feature handmade glass beads and natural elements such as bones and shells. Necklaces, anklets and bracelets have become a popular form of macramÃÆ' © jewelry.

Materials
The materials used in macramÃÆ'Â © include cables made of cotton yarn, linen, hemp, hemp, leather or yarn. The rope is identified by the construction, like a 3-ply cable, made of three fiber lengths twisted into one. Jewelry is often made in combination of both knots and various beads (glass, wood, and so on), pendants or shells. Sometimes the 'found' focal point is used for necklaces, such as rings or gems, either wrapped in wire to allow securing or retrieval in the ropes of hand straps that are entwined like nets. Knotting boards are often used to install cables for macramÃÆ'Â © work. The rope can be retained by using a C clip, straight pin, pin T, U pin, or seat pin.
For larger decorative pieces, such as wall hangings or window coverings, a macramÃÆ'Â © Â work may begin on wood or metal dowels, allowing for the spread of dozens of easily manipulated ropes. For smaller projects, pushpost boards are available specifically for macramÃÆ'Â ©, even though the simple corkboard works fine. Many craft shops offer beginner gear, work boards, beads, and materials that range in price to casual hobbyists or ambitious craftsmen.
