@irishagold Thanks irishagold! Plarn is very fun to weave with. Check out my web page where I show how to make plarn a little less boring too! :D I think you'll get a kick out of that.
@irishagold The DPI depends on the warp thread. I don't always use the same material for the warp when making these bags. Sometimes I use 5/6 cotton and sometimes I use the wool yarn like you see in this video. You have total creative license when it comes to making the cloth which is a 1 inch header, 34 inches of plarn and then the final 1 inch header.
The weft is plarn cut to about 1.5 inches. You can find the plarn tote instructions on my main web page ;) Happy Weaving!
@irishagold Additionally...you don't have to cut the plarn to 1.5 inches, that's just what I like to use. You don't have to use plarn either. You can use any materials that makes you happy and you don't have to use the measurements that I provided. You can make the bag any size you want. You are the master of this project! :D Right now I'm collecting t-shirts to make tarn and weave a bag out of that, which should be kinda fun.
Dear Joyce, I did go to your web and I am amazed. You are so creative! Lots of inspirations. Thank you for doing it and share.

Thank you, Thank you for the reply!
I just recently made tarn place mats. I do crochet bags with plarn. Have not tried to weave it yet - so I am excited.
Thank you once again for the tute and ideas.

Wonderful tutorial! Would you please share what dpi you used and how wide to cut the strips of plarn? Thank you!
