Yarn made from a white t-shirt


It is an idea I had never considered - yarn made from a t-shirt. After I read about it on Ravelry, however, I had to give it a try.

Thankfully, I have men in the family who have drawers full of t-shirts. Using a rotary cutter and mat, I could easily cut the shirt according to the internet directions. From one shirt I got a continuous strip of white fabric; about half an inch wide and 65 yards long. Giving it a gentle stretch made it curl up on itself.

Now the question, "What to make with this T-yarn?
