Smaller Ropes, 3mm or less work wonderfully for jewelry, as well as projects that are small or delicate.

Medium Ropes, 4mm-6mm are perhaps most commonly used, a great size for macramé beginners, more sturdy than the smaller ropes and the perfect size for plant hangers, wall hangings, furniture, lanterns, curtains, rugs, etc.

Large Ropes, 8mm (and bigger) make a visual statement and are so fun to work with particularly for wall hangings. They can be a bit more challenging to work with because of their size, but worth the effort.
