# Best Macrame Rings and Hoops Source: https://cordandknot.com/best/best-macrame-rings-and-hoops Publisher: Cord and Knot. Picks are chosen from what each Amazon listing states, not from hands-on tests. Method: https://cordandknot.com/how-we-pick A macrame ring or hoop is what the cords hang from, so its size decides how the piece starts. A plant hanger top usually takes a ring of about 2 in (50 mm), in wood or welded metal. A round wall hanging, dream catcher or wreath is built on a hoop instead, and the hoop sets here run up to 12 in. Before buying, count your cords: each larks head knot takes two cord widths on the ring, so thick macrame cord fills a small ring fast. The options differ in material (unfinished wood, bamboo, welded metal, iron alloy), in diameter, in the thickness of the ring itself and in how many pieces come in a pack. Wooden rings can be painted or stained, while the metal hoop listings suggest wrapping them with cord, ribbon or lace. This guide compares single-size ring packs and assorted hoop sets by diameter, material, thickness and count, using only what each listing states. Nothing was tested. ## Picks ### 1.
