Hi, I'm new to macrame and was wondering if instead of wooden dowels, can I substitute them with those plastic/metal extendable rod? And if I want to make this 2 tier do i simply double the length of the yarn?
I am having trouble with the double half inch knots loosening on the bottom dowel if not being held up. Is this normal, an ideas what I could be doing wrong or how to fix ?
I was wondering why a 7/8" dowel was specifically used, and for the bottom dowel, If 1/2 inch was too small, how come 3/4" was not used, rather than 7/8". Because in Canada, I don't see a 7/8" available at our Home Depot to purchase for the top dowel. I am thinking 1" for the top and 3/4" for the bottom might work ok? What do you think.
....I came here looking for something to hold my bed-eating collection of giant squishmallows. Not sure this size could handle the army, but it looks fantastic. Guess I'm about to super-size this. lol
