I love this pattern. And I’m starting macrame again after 50 years! How much rope length for a 8-9 ft table runner like this?
Hi Kathleen,
Our runner was used on a 6ft table, I would suggest cutting each piece of rope to 20 feet instead of the suggested 16. You will need about 400ft of rope for your table runner.
Thanks so much! Wish me luck!
Hi, I also remember making lots of things from Jute. My dorm room was covered with macrame wall hangings, flower pot holders etc. That was many years ago, however I have great memories from it. I hope you do also.

Lots of great memories!
This reminds me of (and dates me!) the mid 70’s when I was heavily into macrame. I did wall shelves, directors chair and window valence out of jute! I like your table scarf out of cording–would shed like jute and not scratchy to touch.
