I was going to make firecloth and put the rest to charity but can anything else be made of them? Some denim, cloth and cloth poly..

My Janie makes lots of things from old clothes. She has felted wool and made slippers. Also a felted wool cube thingy for the ferrets to keep warm in.
Rags can be stuffed into pillows and cushions. Use as rags in the kitchen instead of kitchen roll. Make a rag rug using a Hessian sack.. Patchwork quilt.. Pouches and bags.
Loads can be done..

I keep old cotton shirts for cleaning and maintaining my tools.

If it is cotton it goes into the tin for making charcloth, Denim sometimes makes its way into a pouch.
