    Get yourself a drop spindle. Not the ones you use with a bowl, a proper drop spindle. Chain your loops together before you start spinning. Spin your chain all at once, then ply your stands together. You might find a ball winder to be a great timesaver as well. Thanks for the vid, I've crocheted the strips before, but not spun them first. Definitely delivers a better looking result.

    On the 90s during goth and punk days u coukd buy nice pocketbook made from recycled tires. Very expensive but last forever! WITH these shopping bags..I woukd use them for cat litter. I need them but can't get them anymore so now I have to buy them. What's the point of supermarkets stopping using them..now I need to buy them! I get it. I'm a recycling freak. I recycle everything..but I need my garbage bags.

    I recently discovered a much easier way to flatten these sheets. I have a 70’s era waffle iron with plates you can turn over to create a flat surface for pancakes or grilled cheese and the like. So I use the flat sides of the plates. Once the plates get really hot, it takes less than a minute to flatten a curled sheet. You can put more than one on the surface, but they tend to slide around while curly and I’ve found myself making perfect pleats by accident if I get impatient. But this sure beats every other flattening method because the hot bed is big enough to heat the whole can sheet at one time, no ironing movement needed. You definitely need some reliable tongs to handle the sheets, though.
