What is a single twisted macrame rope?

Single twisted macramé rope (or cord) is twisted once, as the name implies. Some traditional ropes will be twisted and doubled back for strength. For macramé purposes, this doesn’t work quite so well. You need the right rope for the desired effect. 

The single twisted cord is much more supple and pliable, ideal for soft projects making it perfect for macramé crafts.

The Material

We only source the best materials at MeriWoolArt. Sustainability is important to us so all of our macramé ropes are made using 85% recycled cotton. 

The cotton has an upgraded 15% viscose blend. This gives the fabric a better consistency and the extra suppleness required for intricate knotwork.

We steer away from polyesters and other low-quality materials. That way you get a product that is durable to work with and your projects last. 

Our rope meets the OEKO-TEX Standard. Meaning that no harmful substances are involved in the manufacturing process. Something deeply important to us as our customers will be using their hands to create.

Our single twist features 40 ultra-soft fibers and is slightly thinner for finer works. Easy to work with and softer on your hands, it makes for a great beginner’s resource to learn the art of macramé.

The Size and Colors

Our single twisted macramé cord is 4mm thick. It comes in a new longer length adding value for money. It is neatly spun on a sturdy 225-meter spool weighing 500 grams, giving you plenty of material for any project. 

We currently stock 20 gorgeous colors including your classic grey, white, or black rope as well as natural autumnal shades. We also have more vibrant hues to brighten up your macramé, knotting, and knitting projects.

Macrame Projects With Single Twist Macrame Cord

Single twist rope is suitable for many types of macramé projects. The softness it provides makes it highly versatile. Try it for crochet, weaving, arm knitting, children's clothes, and even wall hanging tapestries for your home. 

It is delicate enough to make great fringes when it’s unraveled. You can even achieve a feather aesthetic by separating the thread with a comb. Despite its thin size, it remains durable enough to knot together to bear weight for plant hangers.

There are lots of fun projects for younger macramé enthusiasts too, such as making pretty dream catchers and other room decors. 

Even if you are a beginner, a single twist rope is easy to use to make your own decorative projects. Be it as simple as a necklace or as complex as basket weaving. The DIY possibilities are limitless.
