Cotton Denim is very
durable (meaning of): a heavy, Z-twist, twill cotton for jeans, overalls, and other work and leisure garments.
I never buy the material for that either; that would be against my golden rule of recycling! I just use old denim jeans that need to be thrown out. As for the shoelaces;
I never buy them either.
But I did get a shoe box full of them once, at a garage sale; the woman was throwing them away 'cause she didn't know that anyone had any use for them. I got it for 50 cents! The box was jam-packed with them.
(I was thinking of using them to tie the tomato plants upwards with.)
I use old t-shirts & clothing that need to be thrown away. Some I use for cleaning & dusting.
