Mr. Pie faithfully offered up some t-shirts he wouldn't wear again ( I think maybe he thinks this'll mean less money spent on new yarn. tee hee hee)
And I made yarn out of it!!
It's a tad thick and thin, which might be because I can't cut straight to save my life. I'm thinking market bags maybe? What else would you knit with recycled t-shirt yarn?
I can't believe you destroyed a perfectly good yellow shirt!? *evil glare at Mr.Pie*
ReplyDeleteHow could you?!?
What a neat idea!! Give me a better reason for talking my husband out of old, super old, tshirts!
ReplyDeleteYou are a genius and I love your blog !!!
ReplyDeleteWhat couldn't you make? When I made t-shirt yarn, I built my own little loom and wove some scarves:

I've always loved Glampyre's work with t-shirt yarn:

I LOVE this idea. Gonna have to try it now!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! It looks like it curled up? I like that! Maybe a tighly knitted fruit basket???
ReplyDeleteWait Why did I get an evil glare? Mrs Pie did the actual dirty work.
ReplyDeletei have this book called AlterKnits and in it there's a pattern for a t-shirt yarn rug/bathmat. so if you have a few more T-shirts lying around that could be a good option, and you would even really need a pattern, just knit or crochet a big rectangle or circle.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the Beautiful Blogger Award. I am so flattered!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with t-shirt yarn!
AWESOME. My roommate has an entire bag of old t-shirts He wants to get rid of And I need to go through my things too :] Now I'm exited.
