Looking for Sustainability ideas

I thought I find a way to keep costs down while still trying to stay eco-friendly. Trying to keep striving for sustainability. This a record of that journey.

Sometimes blunt and straight forward then sometimes sarcastic

Do you Plarn?



Plarn is yarn made from plastic bags. You can weave them into mats or you can crochet using plarn.
. I like this video cause it shows you how to cut the plastic in one long piece.... I have seen directions to cut the bag into small loops and to wrap them together to make the plarn, but that is good for bulky items. I also seen a woman that used her drop spindle and made plarn that looked like tatting yarn!!

This video this artist take the plarn to a whole higher level! Very cool stuff....
