Macrame history ❤️

A little travel into the history of macramé... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am sure most of you associate macramé with the 1970’s and regard it as a female pastime?! However did you know that macramé is a thousands of years old craft that has been brought to the Western world by men? Yes, that’s true! 👆🏽😄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Arabic word “migramah” means as much as “embroidered veil” or “ornamental fringe”, which were made to keep flies off camels in Northern Africa. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The oriental craft, which dates back to the Babylonian Age, was taken to the Iberian Peninsula by the Moorish, from where it spread through the rest of Europe. During the Victorian Age macramé gained so much popularity in England, that it became a household product in form of tablecloths, curtains, bedspreads and more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the 19th Century British and American sailors where making macramé to pass time on long rides at sea: garlands, hammocks, belts and more. These were sold or bartered upon arrival, spreading the craft further into China and America. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Interesting hey? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➰ Happy Monday everyone ➰ . . . . . #macrame #macramé #macramemakers #sailors #macramehistory #oriental #craft #macramecommunity #macramehammock #macramemovement #makramee #makrameeliebe #makrameewandbehang

Iroko wood thrives throughout tropical Africa, from the Ivory Coast to Angola, Kenya and East Africa, and as far as Congo and Benin.
It is used in the manufacture of furniture, while it is applied outdoors, as it is very durable in natural duration.
For the construction of the bowl, two different shades of iroko wood were processed.What do you think of the result? l
