Mindful macramé

Welcome in the calming craft of macramé this month. It’s the technique of tying knots in cord or similar, to create ornamental items and decorative details. Each macramé plant hammock kit from Tanith Gould Makes contains the works to construct one (£18) or two (£30) hangers in your choice of coloured cotton yarn. And 10% of the profits go to Maybe, a mental health charity based in Bristol. So the feel-good factor will linger long after you’ve fastened your final knot.
