Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1) Is Silke Macramé Cord suitable for beginners?
Yes, it's great for starting out: the thickness helps you see the knots well and correct the tension more easily.
2) What needles/crochet hook should I use?
Recommended sizes 6–7 . If you want a firmer result, go down slightly; if you want softer hair, go up half a size.
3) Is it more suitable for macramé or crochet?
It works great for both: in macramé it highlights the knots, in crochet it gives structure to bags and accessories.
4) How much do you need for a macramé project?
It depends on the type of knot and the size: macramé uses more yarn than knitting. For larger projects, it's best to plan ahead.
5) Why is it advisable to buy the same lot?
To ensure uniformity of color and yield on large projects (tapestries, large bags, coordinating sets).
