Weaving from laces meets this requirement 100%.

Judge for yourself:

1. If inspiration comes unexpectedly, then you won’t have to run to the store for materials. Everything is already at home. You just have to take a good look at the shoes.
2. The lace is a thick and durable material. It will not tear during operation, and if it gets tangled, it will not be difficult to return it to its original position.
3. The laces are noticeable. Therefore, weaving from them is a fascinating activity for needlewomen with poor eyesight. You won't have to strain your eyes.
