That was before I learned that most plastic bags have lead in the paint of the label on them. <br /><br />I'd check it out before I would try it again.<br /><br />But you are right they do wear forever.<br /><br />Hugs, EuphoriaLady Euphoria Deathwatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669240998474374914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358911480916068024.post-74331894466506411492009-05-07T15:07:00.000+01:002009-05-07T15:07:00.000+01:00Yes, I've seen bags and baskets knitted in plastic...Yes, I've seen bags and baskets knitted in plastic yarn like this!LOVE STITCHING REDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341709061400827643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358911480916068024.post-81717306827272103242009-05-07T13:30:00.000+01:002009-05-07T13:30:00.000+01:00Ive seen those open weave shopping bags made of th...Ive seen those open weave shopping bags made of these and its a great idea.

And i still have coathangers covered in the same thread that I was given 29 years ago . They are virtually indestructible but really good at keeping slippery fabrics on the hanger. I prefer embroidered fabric ones! Just have never filled my wardrobe with them!MargBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933881017940842123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358911480916068024.post-8743834209158120652009-05-07T08:25:00.000+01:002009-05-07T08:25:00.000+01:00So this is why Ian cannot find any bags for the ho...So this is why Ian cannot find any bags for the household waste!
