Macrame decor making in Kenya
Macrame hangings with stated dimensions and fitting method
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional décor order: knot two small wall hangings, each on a 300 mm dowel with an approximate 250 mm-wide knotted panel and 500 mm total drop. Per sample start with twelve 2 m lengths of 5 mm cord, folded over the dowel to make twenty-four working strands, plus a separate 1 m hanging cord. The dimensions are original design targets; knot density changes the finished drop. This is wall decoration, not a plant hanger, swing, curtain restraint or load-bearing article.
