Plarn: Plastic Yarn

Recycle your grocery bags into durable market bags that remove plastics from our ecosystem and help raise funds for sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation.

Make Plarn | Crochet Bags | Save Turtles

We have one mission: To upcycle plastic grocery bags into durable, usable products that are sold to raise money for sea turtle conservation.

Each bag reduces 50-75 grocery bags into a usable product that will last for years to come.
