The ultimate MACRAME CORD GUIDE | Everything you need to know about macrame cord

[@bettyjsoohy9956]

I used to macrame back in the 1970s when I was a young woman. (I'm so thrilled that is being embraced once again and loved as I did!) I've forgotten so much about it though that it was keeping me from beginning again. Your videos have been such a blessing! I'm watching them all first as a refresher and to pick up new techniques and knowledge. Thank you so very much! You've made this old hippie chick happy!

[@meditationrelaxationmusic2212]

Pls show your designs if you have

[@luisfelipetrigo]

Just the third video I see from your channel. All are fascinating. On this one, at minute 6:00 you recommend to put tape on the ends "as soon as you cut" the cord. I am in the habit of: 1) measure, 2)put tape at cutting point, 3)cut on the middle of the tape. This way the length that you are going to use has the so-needed tape and also the end that remains in the spool.

[@annabaginova01]

Right, that sounds like a good way to speed up the process, thanks for the tip!

[@justani786]

That's a great idea .. thank you.

[@TooSweet2Mis]

Thank you so much for this Anna. Being a beginner, it's hard to learn all the things that you need to know. You make it a little bit easier.

Omg! I learn so much from you; I’m now going back to all your videos to binge watch! I’ve been doing a Macrame for half a year now and I am addicted to it and I just find that your videos are so educational and straightforward and I’ve gotten so many tips already I can’t thank you enough❤️

I have always been amazed and intimidated with Macrame. I have along way to go, but with your explanation of the different ropes, I'm now inspired. I'm now trying to figure out how to hang my project as I work on it. I'll be looking for a video about this next. Thankyou for inspiring me. 🦋😊🦋

[@annabaginova01]

Macrame is a wonderful hobby, you should definitely give it a try 😊 Have you seen my other videos for beginners on starting with macrame, measuring cord and the hacks? Those could be helpful in the beginning. For the hanging - before I had my clothing rack I would use just a simple hanger for clothes, put it on my curtain dowel and then use a long string to hang the piece of driftwood onto the hanger. I don’t know if that’s well explained 😅

Good information. Hello from an old macramé enthusiast. I still have my macramé books from the 70’s! One thing to keep in mind is cost because it’s surprising how much cord you need! 💕🐝💕🇺🇸

[@annabaginova01]

It must be interesting to compare the macrame techniques and projects from your book to what macrame looks like now. And yes it's definitely important to keep cord costs in mind.

[@amazinggrace5692]

@@annabaginova01 you all are so creative! The basic cord materials and the basic knots are still the same. We made a lot of plant hangers, belts and purses … well we were teens. Those were the days when we had oodles of time to create and dream and be outside. Many people got wall hangings for Christmas . I seem to remember I made a nativity scene, or maybe that was plastic canvas. I had 6 family deaths in 2019-2021, including my only child and craft partner, my daughter Laura. I stopped doing all crafts, all my needlework and fabric crafts, my jewelry, I had no interest in anything at all. She and I use to teach a class for blind crafters at our local Vision Loss center (Laura lost her vision from a process related to her rheumatoid arthritis she got at age 4). We had a craft prepped and ready to go right before she went into the ICU for 2 weeks. We had to ultimately stop treatment and she died right then. It took a year, but I did go back and finish the last craft with out group. I told my therapist that I’d know I was healing when I picked up my embroidery again. I hope it is soon. I love your channel! 💕🐝💕

Hello! I'm just starting out and your videos are such a great help! Thank you so much❤️ I have a tiny question though. My friends got me a A LOT of 2ply cord. Can I unravel it to work with it as if it is single strand?

[@annabaginova01]

I am glad my videos are helpful for you. Yes, you can definitely unravel it and use it as single strand. However I think the 2ply cord same as the 3ply cord will keep some of the waviness to it if you decide to brush it out. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, just something to be aware of if you are planning to brush out a fringe...

any brand suggestions for cotton cord on the thinner side? struggling to find one without mixed reviews

[@rekhaashwin9931]

A big thank you for your guideline on cords type n sizes. Im facing difficulty in getting the actual macrame cotton cord here in Tanzania n to order online I personally see it as too expensive. So I have been going around searching shops to see what is eseally available n also keeping price in mind. So Iv cum up with the synthetic type that is the type used to make fishing nets. Now am confused as the size I use is 150ply N the project im working on requires the 5mm cord can you guide me on this pls

[@annabaginova01]

I found that when it comes to the braided cords you can find those a lot more easily in shops as cords used for knitting, crochet and other crafts so maybe that's something you could try as well. I am not sure what 150ply would equal to in macrame cords but the "ply" (at least in the macrame cords) is the number of "braids" that make up the cord and it's usually single ply, 3ply or 4ply. I don't think I've ever seen any other versions. So in macrame cords that doesn't tell you how thick the cord is, you could have 3ply cord that's 1,5mm or 3mm or 9mm and so on. I would suggest you either ask at the shop if the know the thickness of the cord or that you simply try to measure it yourself.

[@annabaginova01]

I haven't tried working with yarn for macrame, I think there might be a difference in the flexibility of it as well since yarn (or at least the one I am imagining) is very soft I think also the macrame piece will be very soft and flexible. Depending on the design and feel that you have in mind this may or may not be what you are aiming for...

@@annabaginova01 yeah it is quite soft I have to leave the knots a little loose to keep them the size I want but I also feel it's more affordable because my craft store has a huge clearance bin of yarn that has just lost their label.

Hi there, I have never made a bag so I don't really have experience with that. But the general rule is that you need about 4-6 times the length of the finished product (plus times 2 if you are using the lark head knot at the top).

You are inspiring. I have a whole lot of cords which I bought when I had no idea about choosing the right cord. So I am stuck with probably a 2mm cord and the knots don't have a discerning shape. I want to know if I put two strands of this together to do a small project like wall hanging shelf for pots will it work? It is a single twist cord of 2mm

[@annabaginova01]

Right, the 2mm is great for small projects - earrings, keychains and such where you can make more intricate knots with those. But in my opinion that is not the easiest for beginners to start with. As for your idea to combine two cords together that would definitely work, especially for a square knot, the double half hitch will be a bit more difficult with that so I would suggest to avoid that one if possible.

[@annabaginova01]

It really depends on what you want for the overall look to be but I have two notes. You mentioned you want fringe, just keep in mind that the fringe from a 3ply cord is a bit wavy and it won't be straight like the fringe from single twist cords. And for the size of the cord I would probably go with something thicker so the 5mm or even thicker than that as it sounds like a bigger project and the smaller cord might feel a bit lost in it, the knots won't be as visible....Here is some 5mm 3ply cord on Amazon that might be what you need amzn.to/3DfsM7W

I would say so, although I am not really familiar with arthritis and how that affects you. But you can always try on something small and you will see how it goes...And I guess it will be easier for you to work with thicker cords, like the 9mm ones for example rather than the thinner ones.

I only have experience with 3ply cord but I don't think there is really any difference between the two, either one will work well ;) I think the 4ply cord is a bit less common but it should have the exact same characteristics as 3ply cord. I hope that helps.

Does Bobbiny sell that sampler that you have of the different colors. ply, and widths?

Hmmm, well hopefully they will restock soon. Try Amazon as well or maybe some other local reseller 😉

What do you use hot glue gun for? I'm just starting out again and never used one on my projects before.

[@annabaginova01]

I use it for "clean-up" like in my latest chandelier for example kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4a3laqArK2Keqs (watch at 25:25). I could thread the ends into the back of the work but the glue gun seems like less work to me 😁

when ordering breaded cord. what is it called in order form .

[@annabaginova01]

The brand I use - Bobbiny - also call them "braided cords" on their website shop.bobbiny.com/en/53-braided-cords. I don't recall seeing any other name for it.
