Macrame Thread

Create Mesmerizing Dreamcatchers with Macrame Threads

Artists and DIY enthusiasts often utilize macrame threads to create beautiful jewelry, wall hangings, wall shelves, and dreamcatchers. Twisting and tying knots with macrame threads are known to make wonderful macrame thread arts that are en vogue in recent times.

What are Macrame Threads?

Macrame threads are generally cotton ropes or threads grouped and twisted together to create thicker ropes. They generally come in 2-ply or 3-ply strands - the higher the ply, the thicker the rope.

Types of Macrame Threads

Macrame threads can be categorized into different types based on their general thickness. The commonest and most efficient threads to create art are the 3-ply twisted macrame threads with 6 or 8 mm thickness. These threads prove to be strong yet have an inherent softness to them that makes the end product durable as well as charming to look at.

Apart from the thickness, macrame threads can also be categorized based on their material:

• Macrame cotton threads
• Synthetic macrame threads
• Leather macrame threads

However, the macrame cotton threads are preferred over their counterparts owing to their durability, softness, and ease of usage. Skyblue Stationery Mart takes pride in presenting the best and most premium cotton macrame threads available that can attune with all design sensibilities and requirements.

The Various Types of Macrame Knots

When it comes to creating macrame thread arts, there are numerous types of knots that seasoned artists use. Here's a list of the three most important knots that can initiate experimentation with macrame cotton threads.

• The Spiral Knot -This is another basic knot that can help you achieve a twisted and more intricate look in your artwork. It is great for creating wall hangings or wall shelves as the twisted patterns help you get more strength to the artwork.
• The Spiral Knot -This is another basic knot that can help you achieve a twisted and more intricate look in your artwork. It is great for creating wall hangings or wall shelves as the twisted patterns help you get more strength to the artwork.
• The Half Hitches -One of the most simple yet useful knots, the half hitches provide a solid base to the entire structure of the artwork and make it sturdy enough to withstand wind or hold other stuff (like plants, books, etc., if you're making a macrame wall shelf).

Factors to Consider While Selecting Macrame Threads

Choosing the right type of macrame cotton threads may be of utmost importance if you're a beginner. Here are some important factors that you should keep in mind while selecting your macrame threads

• Fiber -While macrame threads are now found in nylon and polyester varieties, choosing cotton is always advisable. Cotton is soft yet sturdy, which helps create artwork easily without hurting your fingers or making the art too stiff. The nascent softness in cotton also allows you to bend the threads easily to create intricate artwork, like jewelry.
• Texture -Macrame threads come in various textures. While selecting your product, keep in mind a texture that is smooth enough to not irritate the skin (this is important if you're making any wearable art).
• Width - The right width of the threads differs based on the artwork you're trying to create. Thinner ropes can be used for smaller earrings and bracelets, whereas a thicker rope is usually preferred for artwork such as dreamcatchers. For beginners creating macrame thread art, 6mm ropes might be ideal.
