I distinctly remember using a hand mixer. One end was tied off to the spinny bit and the other was held by another person on the other side of the room. We used glue to make them into coil bowls. It seems like for hand spinning the joins between sheets would be tricky unless it was plied... When I was very young, we spun crepe paper in school. I distinctly remember using a hand mixer.

I've made baskets out of used magazines and newspaper, and they are surprisingly durable. I am excited to see the newspaper yarn in action. Beautiful!

One of the reasons the lint burns so well is the manmade (plastic) fibers that are mixed in with the cotton and wool. These fibers give off toxic fumes and should not be burned.

Seems like the slick pages would behave differently from the reg newsprint. This is very, very cool.

I may just have to try it as well. Would love to see a movie clip or tutorial on this process. This is fabulous, and so thin looking. I may just have to try it as well.
