Decorative knots have been with us for centuries. The earliest weavers dealt with cut warp threads by knotting them - the origins of what we today know as macramé. The Vikings knotted fine silver coiled wire to create garment decorations - the same knots are today used to create tassel embellishments by passementerie makers the world over. Medieval hairnets were embroidered with beautiful designs, while eastern European countries work needlework knots to create pretty edgings on cloths. Developments over the years have resulted in pretty variations such as Margarete lace and Cavandoli macramé.
This project book puts the basics of all of these techniques in one handy format - with step by step projects so that you can practice and learn each.
Knotted textiles can be used for embellishment, trimming - even for button making!
