Macrame has long been an enduring interiors trend for getting the boho look. However, while a macrame wall hanging could set you back upwards of £30 at Urban Outfitters or John Lewis. This trendy craft is surprisingly easy to do yourself, and inexpensive.

Hobbycraft has seen a 149 per cent increase in searches for macrame on the Hobbycraft website. The brand only launched its macrame cord in February, but so far they have sold over 59,000 balls of yarn.

The classic cream and more vibrant mustard have been among the most popular colours of yarn that have been purchased. The brand expects the popularity to continue to grow into 2021.

While macrame hanging pots and wall hangings are a beloved feature in any boho-inspired interior, macrame has found a new home. The knotting craft has carved out a space among the Christmas decorations.
