KNOT SCHOOL.....Knot #6

Welcome to KNOT SCHOOL


Today is the sixth in a series of posts, where I show you 7 basic Macramé knots.
You have been watching me for the past 18 months now it's your turn!

This very useful knot is for beginning and ending a Macramé hanger.

KNOT #6
Wrapping Knot

Create a loop with the twine your wrapping with, over the twine to be wrapped.

Wrap up, over the loop, with your twine. Remember to leave a tail to use later.

When you reach the end, feed your twine through the loop.

Pull on the bottom tail twine, this pulls your knot under the wrapping and secures it.

All wrapped up!

Use the IKEA clips to manage long lengths of twine! A good tip! :)
