About this course

This course teaches modern macrame from the ground up using an affordable kit of single-strand cotton cord, a wooden dowel, and a pair of fabric scissors. You progress through the foundational knots, pattern reading, three signature projects, and clean finishing, learning the cord math and tension control that make pieces hang straight. Every technique is taught with named materials, cord lengths in centimeters, and worked examples rather than vague guidance.
