Wow - loving the 'plarn'!

I've seen a number of patterns that could use plastic bags cut into strips but never thought to join up strips like this before. Nice one MrsF - thanks for sharing :thumbright:

no idea but I reckon it depends on how small you slice the plastic. I have a 6mm hook which I was using with 1cm "plarn" and that has turned out ok on my mum's pan scrubber.
