Macramé kits available at local libraries

The Arrowhead Library System is providing “The Art of Tying Knots: Macramé Take & Make Kits” to member public libraries to distribute in July, including the Cloquet, Carlton and Moose Lake libraries. Learn the basic three knots of macramé and create a trendy micro-macramé zipper pull. This DIY project, created by Minnesota artist Jen Anfinson, can be used on jackets, backpacks, purses — anything with a zipper. It’s a great hands-on opportunity to create an artistic gift or even start a new hobby. This program is geared towards adults and kids ages 10 and up (younger kids may need help from an adult).
