jersey yarn in the making


T-shirts upcycling can be so much fun!
The cutting part usually leave a sore hand, but it will all be paid off when you see the yarn balls coming...











see what I mean?

  6. I made 2 kind of yarn... one is a long strand which can be formed into a yarn ball at the end and the other is a bulk of short strips that I got from the arm parts and the waste of chest + back part of the T-shirt.

    You can get a continuous long strand from a 'no side seems' t-shirt. Cut a continuous 1-inch strip horizontally all the way around and up the t-shirt until you reach the arm holes.

    FYI, I usually use the short strips for making bracelet.

    and viola! =)
