Get Started: Macrame Jewelry:Selecting Hemp Cord

From Tammy Powley,
Your Guide to Jewelry Making.

Selecting Hemp Cord
The main supply need for macrame jewelry is the cord used for knotting designs. There are all kinds of cords available today. One of the most popular is hemp, which is actually rope or twine made from a hemp plant. It’s popularity has grown because it is very strong and now is available in a range of colors. Not too long ago, it was only available in boring beige. When I went to Wal-mart, I found a 10 yard package of hemp in natural, red, and green for about $4.
