I have been looking for a great plarn project. I already loved your market bag tutorial so I love that you used the same pattern with plarn! Keep the plarn coming...

[@AlloPlum]

Thanks! I’m already working on my next plarn tutorial!

Such a great idea so very needed to keep the discarded bags out of our microplastics ecosystem, and very helpful crochet tips and patterns from Ashley! Myself not inclined to crochet, I would be willing to buy bags like this for myself and as gifts. Ashley, consider making it a business for yourself or with the help of those who are unemployed.

How much weight does this hold?

[@GwenRN]

How much plarn ? I have 4 x large balls of plarn.

YES, using cotton tote bags or even more plactic reusable bags or paper bags are all way less sustainable solutions than this, but nobody wants you to do it becasue you don't have to buy anything
