I have been thinking about getting a hand-made macrame for my home for a while now and decided it was time to put together a list of the best local macrame artists I have found in Austin. 

This way I can narrow down my search and finally take action. 

If you’re not sure what macrame is, it’s a crafting technique that uses knots to create various textiles. Although they are typically known as plant hangers or wall hangings, recent creators have been getting way more creative with their designs and pieces! 

Historically, macrame was an art form that was brought west from Arabic countries. Weavers there used several knotting techniques to finish the edges of woven tapestries, rugs, and shawls with fringe. 

We can now find other staple items like table runners and key chains too.

While searching through the local Austin marketplace, I discovered these skillful macrame creatives: 

1. Maisie and Willow Fiber
2. Monica’s Porch
3. The Zansie Studio
4. Sultan Machine
5. EllaDavella
