Bracelets, necklaces, bohemian earrings... micro-macramé transforms a simple wire into a unique piece of handcrafted jewelry. Here you'll find a selection of wires specially adapted to the creation of micro-macramé jewelry: from the reference waxed Linhasita to C-Lon wire and Slam Cord, so that your knots hold and your creations last.
As its name suggests, micro-macramé is macramé in a very small format.
While the knotting technique remains the same, there is one difference: the size of the threads used.
Macramé uses a thick, rope-like thread of 2 mm or more to create decorative objects such as wall hangings or macramé cushions.
For micro-macramé, use wire between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm to make DIY costume jewelry. For beginners, 1 mm wire is the best choice.
Getting started with micro-macramé doesn't require a lot of equipment, but you will need a few essentials:
Fine thread or cord, of course: Linhasita thread, C-LON beading cord, C-LON tex 400 thread, waxed linen thread, waxed cotton wax thread, metallic threads and C-LON micro cord.
A good pair of scissors.
A mini micro-macramé tray to hold threads taut.
Pins to secure the work.
Jewelry components such as pompons, seed beads, PureCrystal beads, glass beads...

It's back on trend!
Linhasita is the benchmark brand for waxed micro-macramé cords. These waxed polyester threads are made up of 4 strands wound together to form a 0.5 mm or 1 mm thread. These waxed cords are strong, resistant and cover a wide range of beautiful colors.
It's a flexible but very strong nylon thread! It's ideal for creating micro-macramé jewelry! You'll be able to tie knots that won't slip!
To start with, Linhasita 1 mm thread is highly recommended. Its diameter makes knots easy to see, and its synthetic wax helps hold them in place without slipping. Once you've got the hang of it, you can try finer diameters.
