Macramé is an Arabic word, signifying an ornamental fringe or trimming, which has been adopted as the term for a certain kind of hand-work, known also as Ťknotted fringe or Mexican lace and produced by the knotting, interweaving and tying together of threads. We have given the preference to the Arabic name because of its less definite meaning, seeing that not only fringe and lace, but trimmings of all kinds, in the shape of bands and stripes and headings, can be worked in macramé. Along with macrame knotwork, we've also included two very practical and precise knot-tying books. These knots are great to know for nearly everything; around the house, garage, farm, workshop, the list goes on. With these documents on CD, you've got a knot to suit your every need, decorative or otherwise. Check Out The Contents Of This CD Below!

THE ART OF MACRAME WITH MANY PATTERNS & INSTRUCTIONS Macramé is an Arabic word, signifying an ornamental fringe or trimming, which has been adopted as the term for a certain kind of hand-work, known also as Ťknotted fringe or Mexican lace and produced by the knotting, interweaving and tying together of threads. We have given the preference to the Arabic name because of its less definite meaning, seeing that not only fringe and lace, but trimmings of all kinds, in the shape of bands and stripes and headings, can be worked in macramé. The multitude of uses to which it can be turned as a trimming, the infinite variety it admits of and its great durability and strength, make macramé well worth a study; the difficulties that repel many at first sight are only on the surface and any one who carefully follows the instructions given in the following pages, will soon overcome them and be able without pains to copy the charming designs that accompany them, which remind us of the wooden lattices in the windows of Eastern houses, doubtless familiar to many of our readers, under the name of moucharabieh.
