Macrame is a form of textile-making using knotting rather than weaving or knitting. Its primary knots are the square knot and forms of "hitching": full hitch and double half hitches.
In the Western Hemisphere,macrame is believed to have originated with 13th-century Arab weavers. After the Moorish conquest,the art was taken to Spain,then to Italy,and then spread through Europe.
Macrame jewelry has become popular among the American neo-hippie and grunge crowd,starting in the early 1970s. Using mainly square knots and granny knots,this jewelry often features handmade glass beads and natural elements such bone and shell. Necklaces,anklets and bracelets have become popular forms of macrame jewelry.
Materials used in macrame bracelet include nylon string,murano glass.
Vendors at theme parks,malls,seasonal fairs and other public places may sell macrame jewelry as well.
