LESSON
History and Development of Macramé and Basketry
Macramé
Macramé or macrame is a form of textile making using
knotting rather than weaving or knotting. The primary
knots are the square knot (a variant of the reef knot) and
forms of “hitching”-various combinations of half hitches.
It was long crafted by sailors, especially in elaborate or
ornamental knotting forms, to decorate anything from
knife handles to bottles to parts of ships.
Macramé comes from a 13th-century Arab weaver. Word
migramah which mean “fringe”.
One of the earliest recorded uses of macrame- style knots as decoration
appeared in the carvings of the Babylonians and Assyrians. Fringe- Like
plaiting and braiding adorned the costumes of the time and were captured in
their stone statuary.
In the Western Hemisphere, these artisans knotted the excess thread and
yarn along the edges of hand-loomed fabrics into decorative fringes on bath
towels, shawls, and veils.
Macrame traveled from north Africa to Spain with the Moors, and as a result
of this conquest it spread, firstly to France, and then throughout Europe
The Spanish word macramé is derived from the Arabic migramah, believed to
mean “striped towel”, “ornamental fringe” or “embroidered veil.”
After the Moorish conquest, the art was taken to Spain, then to Italy,
especially in the region of Liguria, and then spread through Europe. It was
introduced into England at the court of Mary II in the late 17th century.
Queen Mary taught the art of macramé to her ladies-in-waiting.
Sailors made macramé objects in off hours while at sea,
and sold or bartered them when they landed, thus
spreading the art to places like China and the New
World. Nineteenth-century British and American sailors
made hammocks, bell fringes, and belts from macramé.
They called the process “square knotting” after the knot
they used most frequently. Sailors called macramé
“McNamara’s Lace”
Macramé was most popular in the Victorian era. Sylvia’s Book of Macramé
Lace (1882), a favorite, showed readers how “to work rich trimmings for
black and colored costumes, both for home wear, garden parties, seaside
ramblings, and balls—fairylike adornments for household and under linens.
Most Victorian homes were adorned by this craft. Macramé was used to
make household items such as tablecloths, bedspreads and curtains.
Though the craze for macramé faded, it regained popularity during the
1970s as a means to make wall hangings, articles of clothing, bedspreads,
small jean shorts, tablecloths, draperies, plant hangers and other
furnishings. By the early 1980s macramé had again begun to fall out of
fashion as a decoration trend.
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 as bones and shell. Necklaces, anklets and bracelets have
become popular forms of macrame jewelry.
Jewelry is often made with a combination of knots and using various beads
(glass, stone or wood), pendants or shells.

Activity 1
Macrame
Iraq- uses of macrame- style knots as decoration appeared in the
carvings of the Babylonians and Assyrians. Fringe- Like plaiting
and braiding adorned the costumes of the time and were
captured in their stone statuary.

horses which help, amongst other things, to keep the flies off the
animal in hot desert regions of northern Africa.

Macrame:
Africa- Macrame traveled from north Africa to Spain with the Moors, and as a result of
this conquest it spread, firstly to France, and then throughout Europe.
Western Hemisphere- these artisans knotted the excess thread and yarn along the

Basketry:
Mesopotamia- Baskets are the children of the gods and the basis of our earth. They
believe that the world began when a wicker raft was placed on the oceans and soil was
spread on the raft to make the land masses.
Romans- cultivated willow for their baskets, and the Japanese and Chinese also
counted basketry among their many handicrafts with ancient origins.
The craft of basketry gave rise to pottery making because baskets were used as molds
for some of the earliest pots.
India- may well have left the greatest legacy to the world of baskets. The Indians of
Arizona and New Mexico made basket-molded pottery from 5000 to 1000 B.C. as part
of the earliest basket heritage. Their baskets (many of which have survived in
