The art of macrame uses a series of knots and hitches to craft geometrically complex patterns into roped material. Hemp and jute (a long vegetable fiber ) are two of the more popular macrame materials. Thought to have started centuries ago within circles of Arabian weavers, and later spreading into Europe, macrame became popular again in the United States through the 1960s and 1970s, and it is now making a reappearance in modern design.
