About how many yards of rope went into your basket? The fabric department had a small bag of Wrights 3/16 cotton rope, 40 yards for $3.97. Wasn't sure if it was long enough so didn't get that either. Thought it a bit expensive.
I'd keep looking for the cotton. The brand I got at Wal-Mart is called "SecureLine" by Lehigh. It's cotton clothesline, poly reinfoced, 100' x 3/16".

I used about 3/4 of the package, so my bowl has about 75' of rope in it. You could probably almost do 2 bowls with that 40 yards, since that would be 120 feet.
