'One of the pleasures of macramé is that there aren’t really any set rules; you can hang your art from anything as long as it’s sturdy enough'
Photo: Modern Macramé Alongside tie-dye and shag rugs, macramé — a knotting-based textile art — is one of several 1970s aesthetic trends that’s been repopularized by boho home décor, including knotted plant hangers and textured pillows. Like the related textile art of weaving, macramé has a DIY ethos: “If you can tie it into a knot, you can tie it into your macramé piece,” explains artist Michael Gabrielle.

I don’t love twisted rope because it’s super distracting to me, and I think you notice the twist more than you notice the knotting itself,” she adds.
