Macramé - Techniques and Projects for the Complete Beginner

I thought this book was great. I had never tried macramé before, but I managed to make two different plant hangers very easily using the techniques from this. The diagrams are clear and easy to follow and although it didn't have very many designs I wanted to copy like for like, I was easily able to see what effect each technique had so I could decide on my own design. I normally donate books when I am finished with them, but will be keeping this one for my collection.

Loved the book. Started using it straight away . Good reading and clear directions. I was able to make friends hanging baskets before Xmas and I am still getting new ideas . Great buy.

Good book with lovely projects. However the projects are huge (in size) requiring many feet of string. So ok if you are confident in larger projects. The pictures are clear and a good description of knots for beginners though

This is a very useful learners guide to Mecrame, with clear diagrams and pictures

This book includes written instructions rather than visual, lots of content seemed to be profiles and information about Macrame designers, which isn't what I wanted from a book like this. What I did want was easy, step by step beginner-friendly projects and whilst dying string is a great idea, learning about techniques to do that, again, is just not something I wanted from a beginner's book on Macrame. I found there were genuinely only a couple of projects for absolute beginners/that interested me and lack of visual pattern and knot instructions means it's not ideal for visual learners. Returned.

Good quality but a little advanced for a beginner

Lovely book, better than I had envisaged. Well written and easy to follow and understand, nice step by step info and pictures to follow. Very pleased with my purchase

This set is a good value starter set for people interested in doing a simple macrame project. Buying this and a good book, or YouTube video works out a lot better and more cost effective than the all in one kits and plans. The needle threaders are a bit weak and cheap but the rest of the kit is as you would hope.

le livre est en anglais et en plus il n'y a pas d'image decu

Heerlijk basis boek. Hiermee kan je lekker zelf creatief aan de slag!

Excellent

A must for beginners like me

Wonderful book with basic macramé knot techniques shown in picture format as well as descriptively. Lots of lovely projects including hanging plant holders, market baskets, clutch purse and wall hangings. Also includes tips on dying cord/rope, as well as introducing you to some professional macramé artists.
