Bio Plarn


Plarning, knitting with yarn made from plastic bags, has recently become a popular way of upcycling plastic bags. This is a crocheted sample of a biobag, made out of corn starch and certain biodegradable polymers. The biobag yarn I made by ripping the bag into strips, whcih results in a relatively soft material. The final sample has been `ironed` in the oven.
