Combine the art of macramé with the practice of mindfulness in this stunning gift book. Each of the 17 projects contains breathing exercises, questions to reflect on and guided journal prompts so that you can centre yourself while crafting something beautiful.

Written by acclaimed macramé artist Isabella Strambio, this book offers a unique combination of practical and personal, inviting you to embrace a mindful and meditative experience through knotting. Each knot tied is a chance to slow down and experience the satisfaction of making something beautiful with your hands while nourishing your soul in the process.

Choose from quick 30-minute creations (jewellery, belts, keyrings), those that take less than an hour (coasters, placemats, plant hangers) to more intricate designs that invite a few hours of you-time (wall hangings, baskets). Each one is customizable in colour and size, offering opportunities to decorate your home with meaningful pieces or make thoughtful gifts.

Included within are:

  • 17 simple-but-stunning beginner-friendly projects including wall hangings, jewellery, plant hangers, placemats, coasters and keyrings, ordered by the time needed;
  • Breathing exercises and guided journal pages with space to note down your thoughts and reflections for every project;
  • Easy-to-follow step-by-step photography for all the knots, patterns and projects.

Whether you’re dipping your toes into the waters of mindfulness and crafting for the first time or seeking fresh inspiration and support, this beautifully illustrated gift book welcomes you with open arms.
