I googled 'plastic tarps' and came up with quite a few. One is
I would like to play around with this material in other colors. Any body know what it is called and where other colors might be found?>
We call them "tarps" --- most hardward stores carry them -- I think it just depends on what stock they have available.
I have some different ones - a. one that is SILVER on one side and blue on the other. (the silver is somewhat "heat" reflective. b. A camoflage hunting one with a green back c. a Camoflage hunting style one with a forest green back.
I've also (rarely) seen them in
- plain brown
- plain black
- safety orange....
but heck - the internet is your friend... you can have them in lots of colors at this website -
hope all that selection that makes your heart go pitter pat Mike..... Cheryl DRAGON BEADS Flameworked beads and glass
This looks like a good source. The silver and white look like the solid stuff we sell. To everyone else, yah, I knew they were tarps. I bought the blue one at the hardware store where I work. But we don't carry any other colors. And I thought someone might have seen the "yarn" used to weave the blue ones.
From the blue tarps, older damaged ones, I have pulled off thin pieces and used them with windblown shapes. Want to try some others. The suggestion about the chair repair is possible, but what I have seen is heavier fabric.
Just go buy some tarps at Harbor Freight and wait a couple of weeks for them to deteriorate. ;>)
