I've probably made 20 of these bowls, at least a dozen for a holiday bazaar
last year, and they are very addicting! I haven't been able to find cotton
closeline anywhere other than the Ace Hardware store locally, and it is much
more expensive then what you paid at Walmart.

I just paid $13 for 200 ft. at my local Ace Hardware. I'm stocking up at
WalMart on my next trip to town. They are a blast to make! I just finished
my second. I made little loops at the top edge every three inches. They
look so cute! On to the third bowl.....

I bought some at WalMart today- it was $2.97 for 100 ft. That's enough for
one really large bowl or a couple/three medium sized bowls. You can also
make flat coils for a coaster for drinking glasses and a small-ish bowl to
hold the coasters.
One thing I discovered at our WalMart Super Center- where the ironing boards
and laundry items are located they have plastic clothesline rope. But over
by the paint and hardware they have the cotton clothesline. Be sure to
search around in any store. Our True Value had the same set-up... plastic
by the house ware section and the cotton over by the tools. But it cost $13
for 200 ft.

I checked at our WalMart both in hardware/paint and in the laundry section
and they didn't have any cotton clothesline rope. Rats! Our store isn't a
super center so maybe that is why they don't carry it.
