How are the three hangers in this set different from each other?
Each one is knotted in its own style. One has beads worked into the knots, one carries a diamond pattern and the third twists into a spiral. Hung together they read as a matched trio rather than three copies, and each ends in a tassel below the pot, with a wooden ring at the top for hanging.
How long are they, and how heavy is the set?
The hangers are 32 inches long and the set comes to about 700 grams, so they are light enough for a ceiling hook or a wall bracket. Most of the weight on the hook will come from your pot, soil and water, so plan the fixing around a filled pot.
Do the pots come with the hangers?
No, pots are not included. You get the three knotted hangers, ready to take planters you already own. Pots that sit snugly in the knotted cradle look neatest, and a mix of sizes across the three can make the trio look more relaxed.
Who makes these hangers?
They are hand-knotted in cotton cord at the IndieHaat Macrame Unit in Maharashtra, under master artisan Brijbala. Because every knot is tied by hand, small irregularities from piece to piece are part of the craft, and shades can look slightly different on different screens.
Where does a set of three look best?
Hang them at staggered heights near a bright window, or across a balcony corner, so the three knot styles can be seen one above the other. With trailing plants such as pothos or ivy spilling over, they turn a bare corner into a small hanging garden.
How do I keep the cords clean?
Dust the cords from time to time, and when they need more, wash them gently by hand. Regular dusting keeps the beaded, diamond and spiral knots looking crisp, and the cream cord fresh against your plants.
