0.8mm Macrame Cord — Black | 109 yd Spool
0.8mm Macrame Cord — Black | 109 yd Spool
- Knotted by hand in natural cotton, one piece at a time
- Dimensions listed in inches on every page, so you can measure the wall first
- Ready to hang — no tools beyond a nail and a level for most pieces
- Free shipping across the United States, no minimum
Cotton asks very little. Dust with a soft brush or a vacuum on low suction, and spot-clean marks with cool water and a cloth. Keep the piece out of direct sun if you want the ecru to stay ecru. Anything washable goes in cold — 86 °F or below — and dries flat, never in a dryer. Fringe can be combed straight with your fingers.
Every product page lists the exact dimensions in inches, so measure your wall before you order rather than after. Most wall hangings need nothing more than a nail and a level. Heavier pieces, and anything holding a plant, belong on a stud or a proper wall anchor — the weight tells you which. Plant hangers are measured from the top ring to the bottom of the tassel.

Spool of 0.8 mm black braided nylon cord
A real asset for your crafting, this spool of 0.8 mm diameter black braided nylon cord is a staple of DIY creation. We love it for its supple, hard-wearing cord, perfectly suited to regular, precise work. Choose quality DIY supplies for your creative projects.
A leading color in DIY textile crafts, black cord lets you darken a piece or create contrast. On its own or combined with others, this black braided nylon cord will let you make all kinds of costume jewelry and bracelets in macramé. Express your creative talents by choosing this spool of black nylon cord.
The same fine nylon is spooled in other shades, among them the 0.8 mm purple cord wrap and the 0.8 mm mustard cord.
How much cord do you need?
Depending on the dimensions of the project you want to make, the diameter of the cord you have chosen, as well as how often you use it, the length of cord needed can vary from one spool to another. As a general rule, the spool of cord you use should measure between 4 and 6 times the total length of the macramé design you want to create.
A few examples:
A classic plant hanger takes about 21 yards of cord.
A medium-sized macramé wall hanging takes about 40 to 49 yards of cord.
Detailed calculation:
1. First work out the number of cords to use for the width of your macramé → project width / (3 x cord diameter)
2. Then work out the cord length needed as follows:
- for standard knots → project length x 4
- for tight knots → project length x 6
When your cord is folded in half around your dowel, as with a wall hanging, double the length you get and add 2 in of margin for the starting knot.
To be as precise as possible, we recommend making several test pieces with the different knot patterns your project calls for, in order to determine the length of cord required for each type of knot.
3. Work out the total length of cord needed as follows → number of cords x cord length
A worked example:
Let's take the example of a macramé wall hanging measuring 9.5 in wide by 15.5 in long using a cord 4 mm in diameter and standard knots:
Width = 24 / (3 x 0.4) = 20. So you will use 20 cords of 4 mm across the width.
Length = (40 x 4) x 2 + 5 = 325. So you will use cords 128 in long, that is 3 yd.
You will therefore need 20 cords of 3 yd to make your macramé wall hanging.
Total cord needed = 20 x 3.25 = 71 yards
If you do macramé regularly, allow yourself a larger or smaller margin to avoid unpleasant surprises. All the more so since any unused cord is not wasted and can be used for other creative projects.

The detail
Made in the details
Natural cotton cord, wooden beads turned smooth, a dowel chosen to carry the weight — the details are what separate a piece you keep from one you replace. Every knot is worked by hand, which is why no two pieces fall exactly alike.
