Weaving with nylon fishing line and mercerised cotton. This was an experiment and a failed one at that. I imagined that the placidity of the fishing line would make an interesting and robust fabric. I originally chose to make the piece out of the fishing line alone. However, I thought I'd add the cotton to see how the yarns would work/look together. Unfortunately, the line was too slippy and too fine, and as you can see from this picture, it didn't make for a good weave. I'm going to pursue with the fishing line but go for a thicker ply next time.
