Market Bag Experiment

I bought the biggest crochet hooks I could find and so masoners line to crochet old school market bags. What a disaster! The line is slippery that I couldn't even make a decent chain to get started. I then tried the big hooks with regular acrylic yarn and also a no go. Guess I will have to buy some super bulky to use them on. I did figure out that using plastic doesn't feel much different than metal.
