Macramé - to learn and improve (in french)

Macramé - 24 créations pour apprendre les techniques et se perfectionner, by Amy Mullins & Marnia Ryan-Raison, published by Eyrolles.

This book marries the art of the ornamental knot with delightful models of contemporary inspiration, bringing this ancient know-how up to date. In order to meet all your desires, we offer you here a wide range of creations, from a simple artistic project to sublimate a room to objects that are both decorative and functional to completely reinvent your interior.

This book is intended for beginners wishing to acquire a new know-how as well as for people wishing to perfect their technique. To do so, you will be able to choose among 24 models divided into 12 pairs: a first project to start with, followed by a more sophisticated version, ideal for developing your practice.

These models will also give you a glimpse of the decorative possibilities that macramé has to offer, whether it is to vary the thickness of the yarn, to enrich its range of colors or techniques to create various textures. You will also find explanations for learning how to tie the different knots, and we strongly advise you to practice before you start.

For each model, we indicate the knots and techniques used and the necessary supplies, then the steps to follow, explained step by step. Numerous detailed pictures will guide you through the execution of the node sequences; if you refer to them carefully, you will realize that even the most elaborate models are within everyone's reach.
