I just made my first ball of t yarn out of a cool colored mismade green t shirt a friend left at my house before he moved away

Absolutely, fantastic! I’m so excited about this technique. I can’t wait to try this. I was just looking at some t-shirts and thought of turning them into dust rags. But I crochet more than I dust. lol Thanks so much for this lesson.

OK - you've given me another project! I've got a pile of tee shirts that the whole family uses for nightshirts. That pile is going to get smaller now. Thanks! CrochetDad’s last blog post..We're gonig to the Fair!

I’m going to try this too. This is really cool. I wonder if the way I cut plastic bags might also cut t-shirts easily. I think it would save time.

Mary Anne – OMG! yard sales.

Recently I picked up a potholder loop kit to do with my kids. There was a book which had patterns and polyester loops for about 8 potholders. I made more than my daughter made because I was excited to try out the patterns. It turns out those things melt in high heat. I bought a bag of cotton loops and they are very hard to work with but make better potholders. I wonder if old t-shirts could be used somehow…

This looks simplier than using plastic bags although I did make a door mat once. I have tons of old t shirts and can pick up more at yard sales for cheap. Great bag patterns too. THANKS!

@Marie Anne,
The yarn created from T-shirts is still soft and easy to work with. It is not stiff and is very flexible. I hope you will try a project with the t-yarn.
