Question is macrame on my wire safe?

i am actually a crocheter, and this is my first macrame project.

i want to macrame around my computer charger, however i'm worried that it might be a fire hazard. this wire is quite durable (mac charger, covered in some mysterious fabric), it is not fraying at all, and i am specifically using wool or cotton (no acrylic). i am still worried that despite all of these precautions, this will end up being a fire hazard.

I wrapped my phone charger cable about 2 or 3 years ago (with bobbiny braided cord) and never had any problems. I've done some for other people and they've never had any problems either.

A phone charger with low amps is fairly safe. I would not recommend using it on a laptop charger or a wire carrying higher current.
