So yesterday I talked about turning a t-shirt into yarn. Today I'll show you another method of making t-shirt yarn just in case you messed up the first time around or prefer a different method. Make sure to refer to the other post in case you have questions as my directions are much more detailed than in this one.
You start out the same... lay out the t-shirt, cut from armpit to armpit and cut off the bottom hem.
Next, fold the body portion of the shirt in half from side to side. In the previous blog I said to leave about an inch of un-overlapped area to make a long connected strand of "yarn." For this method, you can simply fold the t-shirt completely in half... If you happened to mess up and cut all the way through the t-shirt, you can pick up from this step.
Cut the t-shirt in approximately 1 inch strips just like before. CUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE. This is the step which is different from the other post.
When you're done cutting the strips, you will have loops that look just like this. Perfect!
Watch the video below to see how to connect each loop of t-shirt. Connect all loops together. Once done, pull/tug on the t-shirt pieces to make it 'roll'. You'll end with a long piece of t-shirt yarn to use for future crafts!
Happy crafting!
