LilyCords

Welcome to Lily Cords! 🧡🌿

My name is Aly and I am an Orlando, FL based fiber artist. I live with my husband and our adorable 3 fur baby kitties! I am a biologist by day and a fiber maker all other times! ➰


I have been doing fiber arts (fiber jewelry, knitting, etc.) since I was a teen. I am quite plant obsessed and taught myself macrame in 2017 so I can make my own plant hangers and I just fell in love! 🪴

There is not a day that passes now that I don’t want to be fibermaking…. something! I just love how the process of knotting can be so relaxing and therapeutic and it allows me to express a different form of creativity than my day job!

I began sharing my fiber art in 2018 and received great response! This led me to open my small business, Lily Cords! The name actually comes from a mix of me and my husband’s names! Lily (nickname for Aly) and Cor (short for Corey)! We tacked on the “ds” and it made “cords”, which was perfect as cords are a type of fiber! 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨


I currently sell fiber art through this online shop and locally in Central Florida at art and craft shows. I also sell fiber art wholesale to some large companies, such as Free People! I also share my love of fiber art by teaching workshops in Orlando, and have taught for some large companies, such as Tommy Hilfiger! 🌻


If you are new to the art of macrame…. Macrame is a form of textile that uses knotting techniques and comes from a 13th-century weavers word meaning “fringe”. It was a was wildly popular art in the 70s and is back now and as popular than ever!

My current take on fiber art is very modern boho, feminine, and functional. I love creating fiber pieces that can be used daily, such as: jewelry, accessories, and home and garden decor!

I am a true wild and free boho spirit and would have totally loved to live back in the 70s macrame days and sell my designs at concerts out of the back of a van! ✌️

I can’t wait to share the beautiful world of fiber arts with you! 🌵
