Can small yarn be used for a bow and arrow?

It is obvious that no kind of yarn will work as an arrow. It is most likely any type of yarn would not be strong enough to serve as the string for a bow. If you are lucky, and do not have an enormous amount of tension on the bow, the yarn might hold up for a few shots, but it certainly would not last very long. Unless, of course, you use yarn made from nylon or some other strong material. As an emergency, I have used dental floss to string a bow. It lasted for the time I needed it, but it has started to fray in several locations because of the strain.
