Micro Macramé Jewellery
Twenty To Make Series
by Suzen Millodot
If you associate macramé with the 70s, and all that conjures up, then think again, for
here is macramé reinvented for the new millennium. Micro macramé uses thinner cords and
vibrant fashion colors, so you can forget about hippy hemp and chunky styles. You can also forget about some of the far more complex macramé knots used in other new
books on this subject; this truly is a book for beginners and a grand place to start.
Anybody who has recently been keen on Scoubidou will know most of it already, and allied
with a few choice beads and other components can make some fun, fashionable pieces.
There are necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings and a watch strap to choose from, and as
with the other titles in this series each of the twenty projects also has another idea on
the same page, making it up to forty. Anybody who has enjoyed Suzen’s other books (also
reviewed on this site) will recognize both Chinese and Celtic influences, as well as nods
to Scoubidou and other trends. The diagrams are clear and easy to follow, and you can get
plenty of practice using mainly one stitch to make each piece, as well as getting a chance
to experiment with different cords. This is definitely staying on my keeper shelf as the
simplest—and cheapest—micro macramé book around.If you cannot find a good range of cords and other knotting and beadwork materials locally, try
