Macrame Wall Hanging

FAQ

How is the macramé hung on the wall?
The macramé is constructed with a top hanging rod or cord loop for wall mounting. Specific mounting hardware and wall fixing requirements are confirmed at delivery, since these can vary based on wall type (drywall, brick, concrete) and installation preference. The piece is heavy enough that a secure wall anchor is needed; light picture hooks may not support the weight reliably.

What size wall does the piece suit?
The 120cm width × 140cm vertical drop suits walls with at least 180cm of available vertical space, where the macramé hangs cleanly without crowding the floor or ceiling. For low-ceilinged rooms (under 2.4m total wall height available), a smaller wall hanging may suit better.

What is macramé as a craft technique?
Macramé is a knot-based textile craft using square knots, half-hitches, lark's head knots, and other patterns to create textile pieces by hand. The technique traces back to 13th century Arabic weavers and spread through Moorish Spain into broader European tradition, with Mediterranean and broader maritime sailors developing parallel knot work. The 1970s bohemian decor revival brought macramé into contemporary global visibility.

Can the macramé be washed?
No machine washing or soaking. The cotton cord stretches when fully wet and the wooden beads can absorb moisture and swell, distorting the knot structure permanently. For light cleaning, spot-clean stains with a barely-damp cloth and mild soap, working in the direction of the knot lines. For deeper cleaning, professional dry cleaning suited to natural-fibre textiles is the safer option.

Can it be used outdoors or on a covered patio?
No, the macramé is designed for indoor use only. The cotton cord absorbs moisture, and sustained outdoor exposure to humidity, rain, and UV would damage the natural fibres and the wooden beads.

Is it suitable as a gift?
Yes. The handwoven craft credibility, the 120 × 140cm scale, and the boho styling appeal all support gift positioning. The price band suits considered gift occasions (housewarmings, beach house gifts, bedroom redecoration gifts) where a meaningful piece is the right scale.
