Whether you’re a seasoned macrame artist or just getting started with your first knot, one thing is certain — choosing the right macrame cord can make all the difference in your final piece. At RUTU ENTERPRISE, we specialize in high-quality macrame cords to help bring your creative visions to life. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to pick the perfect cord for your next project.
Why Your Cord Choice Matters
Macrame is all about texture, strength, and flow. The type, thickness, and twist of your cord not only affect the durability of your piece but also its overall look and feel. Whether you’re crafting a delicate keychain or a large boho wall hanging, the right cord will make your knots stand out beautifully and provide the finish you’re aiming for.
Types of Macrame Cords
Here’s a breakdown of the most popular types of cords we offer and what they’re best suited for:
1. Single Twist Cotton Cord
- Texture: Soft, smooth, and easy to comb out for a frayed fringe.
- Best For: Wall hangings, feathers, tassels, and projects where softness matters.
- Why You’ll Love It: Great for beginners because it’s easy to handle and produces clean knots.
2. 3-Ply Twisted Cord
- Texture: Chunkier with more structure; holds shape well.
- Best For: Plant hangers, handbags, coasters, and structured pieces.
- Why You’ll Love It: Adds a rustic, rope-like texture and is perfect for more durable items.
3. Braided Cord
- Texture: Tightly woven and doesn’t fray.
- Best For: Jewelry, home décor, and detailed pieces that require precision.
- Why You’ll Love It: Great for projects that need durability and a neat finish.
Choosing the Right Thickness
Thickness plays a huge role in both the look and function of your project:
- 2mm – 3mm: Great for small projects like jewelry, mini wall hangings, and detailed knot work.
- 4mm – 5mm: Ideal for general macrame projects — from wall hangings to plant holders.
- 6mm and up: Perfect for large-scale projects that need a bold, chunky texture.
💡 Pro Tip: Thicker cords give a more rustic and dramatic look, while thinner cords are more delicate and detailed.
