Crafts, Traditions and Art of the Sea   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) The original meaning of the Arabic Migramah, from which the word macrame is derived, is variously rendered as "striped towel," "ornamental fringe," and "embroidered veil." As a result of the Moorish conquest the art of macrame was taken to Spain, and from there it spread throughout Europe. Macrame remained a popular pastime with 19th- century British and American seamen, who called it square knotting after the knot they most preferred in making their hammocks, bell fringes, and belts. While the craze for macrame waned in subsequent years, it is now enjoying a renewed and widespread popularity as a technique for making wall hangings, articles of clothing, bedspreads, tablecloths, draperies, plant hangers, and other furnishings. www.moonlightsys.com /nemo/mac_hist.html   (263 words)
