The ancient craft of macram? is thought to have started in the Middle East when Arab weavers in the 13th century knotted rope into decorative fringes for their horses and camels, partly as a means of warding off flies in the sweltering desert heat of north Africa. It is believed that the word "macram?" derives from the Arabic word for fringe, migramah, used by weavers. Victorian times and the 1970s, when hanging plant planters were all the rage, saw the resurgence of macram? as a craft craze. Macram? has recently seen another renaissance, this time with a modern, creative twist.
