Self-taught macramé and natural-dye artist Strambio’s (Macramé for the Modern Home) book provides valuable tips and project plans for crafters of all skill levels. The book starts with a table of contents that notes the level of difficulty readers can expect with each project. The further readers go into the book, the more they’ll learn about various knotting techniques and supplies. Each Christmas-themed project—snowflakes, ornaments, and more—includes step-by-step instructions and a key that informs readers of the knots they’ll use, the estimated time it will take to complete the project, the required materials, and the finished size of the craft. There are also plenty of clear photographs.
VERDICT Crafters interested in adding macramé touches to their homemade Christmas decor will likely enjoy this book. This is a strong selection for libraries with well-circulating holiday craft collections.
