No. Cotton, acrylic, or wool yarns are not suitable for the main structure of macramé, as they lack the necessary thickness and strength. Macramé is made with cords, twisted ropes, warps, or combed cord.
However, these yarns are perfect for decorating, adding colour, details, and texture to your macramé projects, achieving more elaborate and professional results.
