Question for those of you who make hemp necklaces, bracelets etc..?
I use the type of know that makes a spiral type shape. Sorry I don’t know the actual name. Well when i make it the spirals are very uneven. I was wondering, how do I prevent this? Any tips, hints, or suggestions appreciated. Also does anyone have a website for more complex knots besides the one i mentioned? All suggestions welcomed and appreciated! Thanks so much!
Sounds like you’re not keeping the same tension as you knot each time.
Type in “Macrame Knots”, hit your seach button and see what pops up.
Also, Michael’s Crafts has a couple good books on Hemp jewelry…other craft stores like JoAnns, Hobby Lobby, Tall Mouse, A.C. Moore, Ben Franklin and Hancock Fabrics should have some books as well.
