    • @stringtheorymacrame
      @stringtheorymacrame Рік тому

      Hi there, it will depend on the thickness of the string you use. I used 3mm and cut to 2m, but if you use thicker string, like 4-5mm, you will have to cut longer pieces. I hope that helps.

    • @stringtheorymacrame
      @stringtheorymacrame 2 роки тому

      Hi there, I'd say about 20m for the first layer and about 25m for the second layer. It also depends on the thickness of the cord, so I'd always get more just in case. I'd love to see it when you're done, tag me on insta @stringtheory_za :)

      Hi there, so sorry I didn't reply sooner You could absolutely make it bigger, just be sure to add on strings in groups of 2 so that you can tie the square knots and there aren't strings left over, if that makes sense. If not let me know and I'll try send a pic of what I mean.
