Shan wooden macramé dowel with a diameter of 15 mm and length of 30 cm is a natural wood rod designed as a support for macramé wall hangings, plant hangers and other fiber crafts. The smooth, cylindrical profile provides an even base for tying knots and arranging cords, while the compact length makes it suitable for small- to medium-sized pieces or for use as a component in modular projects. The natural wood finish integrates with a wide range of yarn and cord colours and textures.
Advantages
This dowel is made from natural wood, offering a stable and lightweight support for knotting and weaving. Its 15 mm diameter gives enough thickness to hold multiple cords securely without bending, and the 30 cm length is convenient for smaller wall hangings, decorative pieces and plant hanger crossbars. The smooth surface reduces friction on cord fibres during knotting and helps maintain tidy, even knots.
Suitable for
- Small to medium macramé wall hangings
- Plant hangers and indoor hanging displays
- DIY craft projects, workshops and gift items
- Modular or multi-piece macramé assemblies
Key specifications
- Material: natural wood
- Diameter: 15 mm
- Length: 30 cm
- Shape: smooth cylindrical rod
- Finish: natural, untreated or lightly sanded surface
How to use
Use the dowel as the top support for macramé designs by centring and securing the mounting point, then attach cords evenly along the rod using lark's head knots or other preferred knotting methods. For plant hangers, place the cords at calculated intervals and knot to create the suspension structure. The dowel can be mounted on a wall using two small screws, hooks or adhesive supports positioned near the ends; alternatively it can be incorporated into a larger wooden frame or combined with multiple dowels for stepped designs. Sand or finish the wood if a smoother or sealed surface is desired before knotting.
Usage recommendations
For best results use cords and yarns suited to macramé (cotton, jute, hemp or synthetic macramé cord) with thickness compatible with a 15 mm dowel; check cord diameter against knot spacing to avoid overcrowding. If the project will be exposed to moisture, consider applying a suitable wood finish to improve durability. When mounting on a wall, ensure fixings are anchored into a stud or use appropriate wall plugs for secure support.
