Weave, Not Waste
This project uses hands instead of needles. Think of it as a level-up from finger-knitting, or a fun exploration of a non-traditional method and working with jumbo yarns. It uses Plarn, which is plastic bag yarn made from upcycled grocery bags.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Approximately 13” x 16” (33 x 41 cm)
Note: Measurements may vary based on plarn strip consistency.
MATERIALS
• Approximately 5 standard plastic
grocery bags (for each mat)
• Scissors
• Rotary cutter, self-healing mat and straight edge (optional).
