Macrame has seen a huge surge in popularity and it's a craft trend we're so here for.
Whether you're fashioning some macrame earrings or knotting up some heart bunting, macrame can really relaxing to make and allows you to take a break from the digital world and create something beautiful.
You really can make anything from macrame and there's hundreds of free macrame patterns and macrame books out there brimming with innovative projects.
However many of these macrame patterns require you to have previous knowledge of the craft which isn't great for newbies, and is why we love macrame kits. Macrame kits come with everything you need inside alongside detailed instructions and video tutorials. Many macrame kits come with pre-cut macrame cords making it even easier for newbies to use.
We've collected some of the top macrame kits on the market so you can start your macrame-making journey. We've included a huge range of projects and thrown in a few more complex kits for those of you who have a basic knowledge of different macrame techniques.
