Dear users, dear authors,
what is paper yarn and what do you make with it?
Can paper yarn withstand rain?

Paper yarn is yarn twisted from strips of paper. You can use it for weaving, crocheting, knitting, and knotting... It’s mainly suitable for decorative items like baskets, bags, and placemats. But you can also crochet sun hats with it.

Paper yarn comes in different qualities; some are even washable... my yarn was a bargain from a discount store, 55 m per 50 g, and quite unruly; it felt rough on my hands and took quite a bit of strength to crochet with. 

The bag was rather unpleasant already, so I had had the yarn for the hat in my cupboard for quite a while... 

I crocheted the hat really tightly with a 3.5 mm hook so it would hold its shape well - that was the smallest size that worked for me. But that was really exhausting, and I needed a few breaks... but I really like the result!

@ Fun Design
Your crocheted items made from paper yarn look great—I think the hat is especially pretty!
It was worth the effort, despite the unruly yarn. Enjoy your creations.
Best regards, Jana
