I think that all the red ones came from buying tomatoes. Wow! I love tomatoes but had no idea we'd eaten so many! I also have white ones, yellow ones, even a green, a black, and an orange one.
I was thinking that I could cut them into strips, link them together to make a sort of yarn ball and crochet or knit a bag of some sort. However, my attempts have ended up with a "yarn" that is far from pleasant to work with and it looks pretty bad too. I've searched online to try and find ideas of what to use these for and have come up with nothing. I'm not ready to give up just yet. I have so many and they really seem like they could become something wonderful...or, at least, useful. Do you have any ideas?

What a tantalizing prospect to use up such colourful pieces of recycling...I can't wait to see what you do with them!
Seems like my mom had a pattern for a crocheted pot scrubber made from these things. I don't think they were cut though, left whole with only the ends trimmed open. I'll have to consult my Aunt. Have you Googled it?
I use them to dye fiber in so that the fiber doesn't float all over the dye pot. Since they are plastic, they don't contaminate a dye pot.
