Instructions in 8 steps The round wooden tray is an integral part of this macramé art work out of dark macramé yarn and provides your decorative trinkets with convenient space. And this is how it works:

Step 1

Cut the yarns as follows:
4× 4.0 m
4× 3.5 m
2× 1.5 m

Step 2

Lay the yarn strands measuring 4× 3.5 m and 4× 3.0 m half of each across the ring. Then gather all the yarn threads together and wind the yarn thread of 1.5 m around them to form a 4 cm long gathering knot (see picture Gathering Knot).

Step 3

Now divide the yarn threads into four strands, taking 2× 3.0 m (= conductive yarn) and 2× 3.5 m (rug yarn) per strand.

Step 4

Start knotting after 40 cm and make 2 spiral knots per strand (see picture Spiral Knot) and thread one raw wood ball (18 mm ø) per strand onto both conductive yarns.

Step 5

Then make 13 spiral knots in each skein (see picture Spiral Knot) and thread one raw wood ball (23 mm ø) per strand onto both conductive yarns.

Step 6

Then make next 17 spiral knots per strand (see picture Spiral Knot) and thread a raw wood ball (30 mm ø) per strand onto both conductive yarns and make a weaver's knot under each raw wood ball. After another 3 cm, make a weaver's knot again and thread one raw wood ball (23 mm ø) per strand onto both conductive yarns and make a weaver's knot under each raw wood ball (see picture Weaver's Knot).

Step 7

Then gather all the yarn threads together aligned flush and after another 20 cm wind them with the second yarn thread of 1.5 m to form a 4 cm long gathering knot (see picture Gathering Knot).

Step 8

Cut the yarn threads to the desired length (herein 25 cm). Now thread one raw wood ball (12 mm ø) onto each yarn thread and fix them at different heights, with an overhand knot (see picture overhand knot). Then unravel the yarn threads individually.

You can also paint the raw wood balls into matching colours.
