What sources are there on the history of macrame, especially in the middle east?
Local muslims have told a friend her macrame resembles work from Morocco that hasn't been done in over a hundred years. I'm seeking information regarding islamic or moorish macrame. The closest we've come is the Italian lace form of macrame and some pictures of Spanish church vestments. The older Fez embroidery bears the closest resemblance to her workstyle we've found so far.
Can't find much detail on macrame history at all, but here's an italian site with some good history on the lace form of macrame.
