Handcrafted macramé plant hanger and a history of macramé.

First recordings of macramé as decoration appeared in the carvings of the Babylonians and Assyrians adorned the costumes of the time 

These artisans knotted  thread and yarn along the edges of hand-loomed fabrics into fringes on bath towels, shawls, and veils. The Spanish word macramé is derived from the Arabic migramah (مقرمة).  The word is believed to mean “striped towel”, “ornamental fringe” or “embroidered veil.”

After the Moorish conquest, the art was taken to Spain. From there it went to Italy, especially in the region of Liguria, and then spread through Europe. It was introduced into England at the court of Mary II in the late 17th century. Queen Mary taught the art of macramé to her ladies-in-waiting.

Sailors made macramé objects while at sea, and sold or bartered them when they landed.  Like this they spread the art to places like China and the New World.

Nineteenth-century British and American sailors made hammocks, bell fringes, and belts from macramé. They called the process “square knotting” after the knot they used most frequently. Sailors also called macramé “McNamara’s Lace”.

Macramé was popular in the Victorian era for trimmings for  costumes and most Victorian homes were adorned with items such as tablecloths, bedspreads and curtains made of this craft.

Though the craze for macramé faded, it regained popularity during the 1970s as a means to make wall hangings, articles of clothing, bedspreads, small jean shorts, tablecloths, draperies, plant hangers and other furnishings.
