Question 1

Is this 2 mm cotton cord suitable for macrame work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the 2 mm thickness is one of the most popular macrame sizes — it provides sufficient body for knots while remaining flexible enough to be comfortable to hold and work with. It is suitable for small wall decorations, bracelets, keyrings and plant hangers alike. For larger, more robust macrame installations (such as a large wall rug), it is worth choosing a thicker cord of 3-5 mm.

Question 2

How can this natural cotton cord be dyed?

Accepted Answer

The natural ecru cotton takes dye well: it can be coloured with textile or acrylic dyes. The simplest method is tie-dye or an ombre effect: dip just one end into the dye and allow it to dry. Natural plant dyes (turmeric, red cabbage juice, tea, coffee) also bind well to cotton fibres. Rinse the cord before dyeing, and after drying rub it with a soft cloth for a more even result.

Question 3

Is a 25-metre coil enough for a macrame wall hanging?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the size of the project. A smaller macrame piece (30-40 cm wide) typically requires 10-15 metres of cord — the 25-metre coil is more than sufficient for this. A medium-sized wall hanging (50-60 cm wide) can require 20-30 metres, which may be a little short. For larger pieces it is worth planning the required quantity in advance and purchasing extra coils if needed. The 2 mm thickness and 25 m length represent a good compromise for general craft work.
