A dowel sets the width and weight of a macrame wall hanging from the top down. The
diameter affects how much cord can be looped over it without crowding. The length
determines the spread of the finished piece. Both dimensions are listed on each product
page. Dowels are sold in packs of three of the same length and diameter. Mixed-dimension
orders are listed as separate line items on the same shipment.
Dowels are sold in packs of 3, same dimensions per pack. Bulk pricing applies at 4
packs or more. Natural variation in wood grain color is expected and is not a
defect. Warped dowels on arrival are a reportable defect.
Available lengths and diameters
Standard lengths available are 30 cm, 45 cm, 60 cm, and 90 cm. Diameters available are 12 mm, 18 mm, and 25 mm. The 12 mm diameter is suited to lighter cord weights and smaller pieces. The 18 mm diameter is the most common choice for standard-sized wall hangings. The 25 mm diameter is used for large, heavy installations where cord weight is substantial. Each combination of length and diameter is listed separately on the product page.
- 30 cm and 45 cm lengths — small accent pieces and narrow panel hangings.
- 60 cm length — the standard size for most wall hanging projects.
- 90 cm length — wide statement pieces and gallery-style fiber art installations.
What to check on arrival
Roll each dowel on a flat surface to check for warping. Measure length and diameter
with a tape and compare to the order confirmation. A dowel that is warped, shorter
than listed, or a different diameter than ordered is a reportable defect.
Differences in wood grain color or minor surface knots within the same product line
are natural variation and are not defects.
