What is a good "green" alternative to yarn, stitching, lacing, shoelaces, etc.?

Question

What would be the strongest hold with the most eco-friendly product?

Answer 1

..You can make threads, yarns etc out of certain plants like cotton or flax or even animal hair.(horse hair when woven/braided makes strong and beautiful laces, hat bands , belts etc, and you can get that right from a living animal and it will not hurt him.) also animal hides that have been tanned make very strong laces and stitching materials.From plants you can also make the dyes to color these items..simply by boiling some of them.. All of these are green examples..the native americans lived very green,,, using only what they needed. they used only what animals they needed for food and clothing and let the rest live to reproduce.. when they collected plants for food, clothing, medicines, and dyes,.they saved and planted the seeds..to renew their supplies. Everything they used or made was eco-friendly , renewable and did not pollute the earth . The above examples are just a few but beware .. to make and do most of these is very time consuming ,, that is why man invented the ungreen factories.. to cut down on production time and make more money,,,happy stitching... perhaps you can let us know what green alternatives you found and show what you made with them..HAPPY STITCHING.

Answer 2

Hemp is great for the environment because it returns nitrogen to the soil, and now they're making jeans with bamboo which is renewable.
