Jessica Stark began doing macramé in elementary school when string boxes were the “in” thing. Jessica is bringing back the trend with Knotilus, her business handcrafting macramé pieces.

As a kid, Jessica and her friends would spend hours making friendship bracelets, anklets and necklaces for each other. Within the last six months, she decided to pick the skill back up and challenged herself to make a wall hanging for her husband’s birthday.  In the process, she rekindled her love for the craft of macramé.

Jessica’s favorite pieces to create are large intricate wall hangings that incorporate different materials such as shells, beads and feathers. Some of her pieces even light up! She recently started collaborating with Lotus Island Threads to make macramé pieces for their handmade bathing suits. Jessica loves the fact that the possibilities in the craft of macramé are endless.
