The Mid Century Vault

Currently Playing: 040 Why Macramé Took Over the 70s (And Where It Came From) ✨

It wasn’t just a 70s fad—it was a knotted revolution! ✌️ Today on The Mid-Century Vault, Philip Mershon explores the rise, fall, and return of Macramé. From ancient sailors trading knotted hammocks to Queen Mary II teaching her ladies-in-waiting, find out how this craft exploded into the jute-filled plant hanger craze of the 1970s. We break down the connection between the hippie movement, Pier 1 Imports chic, and the desire for handmade home decor. Love Mid-Century history?
