t-shirt yarn
Another tutorial to help in saving our Mother Earth by turning unwanted items into something useful. This is the T-shirt yarn ball I made out of an old T-shirt which I have been wearing for 10 years day-in day-out, wash-in wash-out. It finally broke down and tore at the collar and sleeves. Waste not, want not, I decided to recycle it.

The T-shirt yarn is perfect to crochet and knit into basket, bag, rug, scarf etc…. I have finished making the T-Shirt yarn drawstring bag as shown below. Please click here to have a look and you can download the simple pattern I created.

Other than crochet project, you could use the T-Shirt Yarn to make rag rug, stripy scarf, knit a rug, braid a rope etc…..

      Please leave one side uncut when you are cutting the t-shirt in horizontal direction, that uncut side is reserved for the slant cut.

    It’s a great reycle idea. I always feel sad that I can’t use old T-shirt for any diy prject cuz it’s stretched while the color’s still good.

    A rotary cutter and a metal ruler are much easier on your hands than scissors. Lots quicker, also.

    Thanks so much for the tutorial that makes sense! I have read about five tutorials about this but none of them made sense. Yours explains it perfectly!
