SAVE THE EARTH!  GO GREEN!  BE CREATIVE WITH YOUR RECYCLABLES!  CROCHET WITH PLARN!


"So what's plarn"?

Plarn is an abbreviated name for plastic yarn, made by recycling plastic grocery or garbage bags.  These bags are cut together into loop strips -- and knotted together.  Or you can just cut them into one long continuous strip.  Then you wrap them up into a ball, much like regular yarn.  This yarn can be crocheted into a very sturdy and reusable tote bag that can carry home a whole lot of groceries, and you don't have to bring home any more plastic bags!  Sounds pretty good, huh?

Of course you don't just have to crochet these bags, you can knit them together, or even macramé them together.  Don't know how to crochet or knit or macramé?  Just take one of my classes and I'll show you how to how to make all kinds of things, including very durable sandals. Creativity is an unlimited resource of the mind.  So, give it a try!
