I am wondering how would cut knit fabric to make yarn from it… I can picture cutting the whole length in many strips, but wonder if you have a simpler idea. Something more like cutting the shirt, but without working in the round… Thanks!! My daughter was recently given a bunch of fabric and I am pretty sure there was a batch of knit (t-shirt feeling) material in it…

Question reguarding with of Tshirt yard. You start (15mm width strands) is this cut at 15mm or they should be 15mm after pulling them? Thanks, can’t wait to get this started

You can crochet a big basket with T-shirt yarn, it won’t go very floppy as long as the yarn is thick enough and your tension is tight enough. Cool idea to make as a laundry basket

Super cute bag! At first, when I saw the top picture, I thought it was a basket, as well. I’m crazy about baskets! I wonder if it would be feasible to crochet a big ol’ basket from t-shirt yarn. It might be floppy, but it would be awesome!

You can omit the big eyelets installation and leave the crochet hole to draw the string.

I love the draw string bag idea. My cousin is moving to town & wanted me to teach her to crochet & this seems simple enough for her first project. Thanks!

A suggestion for something else to make would be a rug. You can see mine here: http://pjscraftycreations.blogspot.com/2011/12/t-shirt-rug.html?m=1

But it would be nice if there were a pattern out there rather than making it up as I go… lol!
