Simple Step-By-Step Tutorial About How To Make Yarn/ Plarn Using Grocery Bags.
Here is a photo tutorial on how to make plarn using grocery bags.:
Step 1:
Fold and flatten a grocery bag. Cut the top and bottom as shown in picture using a scissor or a rotary cutter.
Step 2:
Fold the center piece for ease in cutting. Cut 1/2 inch loops.
Step 3:
Separate the folds of each strip. Place 1st strip below the 2nd strip and join them with a knot as shown in the pictures. Please make sure not to bind the 2 ends tightly so the plarn will turn very thin. Just make a soft knot.
Step 4:
Join the remaining strips together like shown in the pictures below. It is easier to join strips together this way. Keep joining strips till you have a long enough plarn to crochet your intended project.
This will make a worsted weight yarn. You can use 4mm-5mm hook to crochet with it. I have used this plarn for making my two patterns: Plarn Heart Applique and Plarn Flower Applique.
