Now that I have my spinning wheel, I've been spinning and imagining spinning all sorts of different materials.
One of the things I've spun is "plarn" (plastic yarn) recycled from shopping bags. I cut the bags into long, thick stips. Then tied them together and spun. I filled up a couple of bobbins and proceeded to make a two ply plarn using half grey wal-mart bags and half white (mixed with blue and green) grocery bags.
I will then make a re-usable shopping bag.
go green :)
