10 Best Macrame Kits UK 2024 | Wool Couture, Isabella Strambio and More

The key reason this product stands out compared to other similar options has to be the fact that the final result rivals the kind of fancy piece you might shell out a fortune for on Etsy. But this is super affordable and comes with an added sprinkle of me-made magic dust! Though it's labelled intermediate, the braided thread could offer a manageable challenge for brave beginners.

Another perk that's impossible to ignore is that you're encouraged to select your very own piece of branch or driftwood to serve as a naturally sourced dowel. This means your finished piece will be totally unique. As with all Wool Couture products, the cord is super soft and the quality is second to none. 

Our second favourite product offers double the macrame fun for half the price of many of the other kits on our list. For under £20 you get not only a quick and easy macrame plant holder kit, but also a second dowel and enough twine to put together a matching macrame wall hanging too.

The 3 mm cord is single thread, and described by many as easy to unravel for a rustic frayed edge. The twenty sweet little beads are smoothed to perfection and can act as a quirky decorative touch to either project. Both beginner and higher level macrame-makers will manage this project, which comes with a very accessible instruction booklet. 

Spruce up your home with a colourful plant holder you won't be able to stop humble-bragging about. Hoooked is a yarn brand focusing on the reduction of waste in the fashion industry, blending discarded fabric scraps into blissfully colourful, new, usable yarns. How great is that?

In just a few hours, you'll have fashioned your very own hanging planter. The concise instructions are ideal for beginners, but intermediate makers will enjoy this project just as much. All you get is a large roll of cord and two wooden rings, so you won't make a mess or feel overwhelmed. There are four bright colours to choose from.

This lovely kit will set you back a mere fifteen pounds, and for what you get, we consider it a total bargain. Isabella Strambio is a macrame master, and her kits are always comprehensive, undemanding and a joy to use. This kit perfectly balances creative freedom with clear, supportive guidance.

Inside the packet, you'll receive a sturdy wooden frame that serves as your dowel, plus 100 metres of touchably soft, single thread cord. Alongside these basics you'll discover not one, but four delectable chunky wools, each of a distinct fluffy texture. We reckon this is the best macrame wall art kit for complete beginners since it's easy and bags of fun.

For those with a little macrame experience under their belts, it might be exciting to try a craft project with the potential for display in pride of place: on the sofa! By following the entirely uncomplicated instructions, you can pull together an effortlessly chic cushion cover in a matter of hours.

There's little to this highly tasteful macrame kit; just 10 metres of single thread cord and 18 smoothly polished wooden beads. The complex knots and detailed weaving pattern take these simple ingredients and transform them into something rather fantastic. Knot too shabby for forty quid.

We think this cute hanging shelf is another excellent project that's perfectly suited to beginners and up. Perhaps the biggest perk here has to be the fact that the project blends proud 'me-made' satisfaction with a truly useful household item, upon which you could store a plant or even some books. 

This top-drawer macrame kit comes with 3 medium hoops as well as 30 metres of braided string. The thickset, heavy shelf has large holes so you can tie it securely with no risk of tugging or falling. It is appropriate for crafters with any level of macrame knowledge, which we love!

If you love the idea of floaty, fairy tale whimsy, why not try your hand at dream-weaving with this easy-to-make decorative dream catcher? The single-strand thread is just right for fraying and will achieve that mussed-up bohemian aesthetic in your bathroom, bedroom or balcony area.

The step-by-step instructions are manageable for even the most easily distracted crafter, and talk you carefully through some complex and beautiful knot techniques! While it's doable for a beginner, some reviewers called it challenging, suggesting more seasoned makers might enjoy it too.

Total newcomer to macrame? House full of plants? Get this colourful kit in your virtual trolley, stat! We particularly love the mustard yellow and rose pink options, but there's also cream, teal and a dusky lilac cord to pick from. With one wooden ring and a simple hook, this set is perf for newbies. 

Online reviewers have called this product 'the perfect gift' and raved about the idiot-proof instructions and great value for money. We agree that this lovely, affordable kit would serve as the ideal present for the craft-aholic or proud plant parent in your life. 

This set will arm you purely with the tools you need to create a macrame masterpiece, but none of the method. Again, we're keeping it towards the bottom of our top ten as some shoppers may be disappointed by the lack of guidance. More advanced weavers will revel in the challenge!

On opening your kit, you'll see 2 dowels, 8 rings and 100 carefully carved beads in 10 appealing patterns. With 100 m of thick braided cord, the macrame world is your oyster. We reckon this kit is the very best for advanced macrame mavericks who dream of making something totally unique!

At number ten on our list is this high-quality, professional set of macrame bits. We love it because each piece is painstakingly hand-crafted and silky-smooth to the touch. You'll find 2 dowels, 6 rings, a hoop and a selection of 30 wooden beads to embark on any project you fancy.

This lovely starter pack, however, does not contain any twine or instructions, meaning it's not a comprehensive kit for beginners. However, it's sure to appeal to creative types who love the freedom of selecting their own twine, experimenting with colour and making up their own patterns.
