Hi Yulia, yes, of course! The top portion of the large piece are two rows of square knots. First row is a spiral consisting of three half square knots and the second is just a regular square knot. I hope this helps, but let me know if that doesn't make sense.

@ That makes sense. I’ll try it. And do you have 3 thin dowels throughout that piece or are they just straight lines made with half-hitch knots?

@@yuliamirzoyan4853 I suggest you use the 3 thin dowels. The lines of half-hitch knots will be straighter and they will give more structural support for your hanging. But you can just have straight lines if you want to. I would love to see your piece when it's finished. If you have Instagram or Facebook account, please tag me :)

Oh, forgot to mention that the large piece uses different base/skeleton cord. Because the piece is larger it needs more structure so you will want to use a 5mm twisted rope not a single strand cord.

Hi, thank you for reaching out. No, this is a small project so you will need about 24 meters. I suggest you get a bit more than that, just in case.

Thank you 🥰

Thank you! I am leaning that way :)

@fibersofmine maybe not a massive one, but I think it does need some. It looks great with the pin.

Thank you!

Thank you for this feedback! It is so great to hear that my video helped 🙂 Enjoy Creating! 💫

Muchas Gracias! 💖

That is great to hear! I am glad you enjoyed creating this hanging 🙂

Hi, The dowels I used were 48 inches in length. You can also find the materials listed in the description. Hope this helps :)

This is so great to hear, Jeanne! I'm glad my video helped you to create a beautiful piece of your own. I would love to see it. If you have Instagram account or Facebook, would you please tag me @fibersofmine so I can take a look? Thank you for sharing this with me. 🤗☺

You are very welcome! I am glad my video helped 🤗

Gracias 🙂🥰

You are very welcome! Glad it was helpful 🙂

Thank you, Robin! My middle color section was about 18 inches. Good luck with your project! I'd love to see how it turns out. If you are on Instagram or Facebook, please share some photos and tag me so I don't miss it :)

Hi Mike, It will change the cord. The strands will separate and become more "fluffy" and "wrinkled" for the lack of better words. So your cord won't be as tight as before. You still can work with the cord but the texture will be different. Also the color won't penetrate through all the strands, so when you brush our the fringe you will see some color variation which creates an interesting effect. It all depends on what you are going for. I would say, absolutely experiment with dying your own cord. I believe in learning by experience. You will definitely figure out what works for you that way. Good luck! And share what you learned :)

@@fibersofmine Thanks Sasha for your expert advice. I don’t want to mess up this macrame wall hanging, since it’s going to be a special gift. I’ve decided to purchase your recommend macrame cord, instead of dying my cord on the cheap. Thanks again for replying.

​@@mikemanges Or course! You are welcome :) I think it's a better option in any case. I don't get any benefits from the companies/shops that sell cord, but unless you are going for a certain look in your work, the commercial cord is actually a cheaper option. If you calculate the cost of the dye, your time, mistakes you make while learning and not getting the results you want, doing it again and again, it might end up not as cheap as you think to dye your own cord. Although, you will learn a lot, and that worth something :)

I used 225 feet of 4mm single strand cord for this project. Please check the description, I list how long each cord should be. Hope this helps :)

Thank you, Janet! I am happy that this tutorial was helpful :)

Hi Suzy, Thank you for reaching out! I used 44 cords in my piece, In order to have 4 equal color section most of the groupings are in three, but I had to use some groupings of two to make it work. Those groupings of two are under the darkest blue color. Depending on how wide your piece is, you might need to figure out your own groupings so the hanging doesn't come out of balanced. I hope this helps :) .

Hi Clarisa. This is a pretty small piece and I used about 100 feet of each. But every project and every maker is different so you might need a bit less or more. I always suggest to get more than you think you would need, just to be on the safe side. I hope this helps. :)

Thanks!

You are very welcome! 🥰
