Making Milkweed String

[@sentientcharcoal6450]

I like this method because you're leaving all the *live* milkweed for the butterflies & other creatures 😊.

You can't use the live milkweed for string anyway, so it's win/win for everybody. :)

We get a lot of monarch butterflies up by me who feed almost exclusively on milkweed. You can find it just about everywhere. I'll have to keep my eyes open for the actual sticks now. Never knew you could make string out of it. That's so cool.

so intriguing and very helpful! thank you!

[@AnimeShinigami13]

have you ever tried it with east coast milkweed?

[@WillowPolson]

I haven't been on the east coast to try that out. :)

I’ve been experimenting with milkweed fibres (thread and yarn) in here in Quebec with success!
