We were quite keen to try our hand at working with t-shirt yarn.
Below we describe how we cut up and use almost the whole t shirt to make the yarn.
Want to receive a ton of inspiration and money saving ideas for decorating, gift-giving and crafting?
In the end though, you end up withalmost two times the t-shirt yarn to work with!
UPDATE: Weve recently created a video of how to make the tshirt yarn with the whole shirt!
When youre done, you will have at minimum about 6 pieces of yarn of various sizes.
There are several options for joining the ends together including hand-stitching, or cutting slits.
Mainly for speed, we prefer a double knot as shown.
Just check that the tails end on opposite, rather than the same sides.
Do you have any other tips for making your own t-shirt yarn?
