This video will show you how make T-shirt Yarn by making one continuous strip from a T-shirt. T-shirt yarn is also known as T-yarn. Upcycle old tee-shirts into yarn and have fun crocheting, knitting and weaving with it. It is best to use t-shirts with no side seams and also you can only use the unprinted portion.

I have always cut them into strips and then connected the strips... which leaves a lot of annoying knots. I love how you make the shirt into one strip!! It is so simple!! Thank you for sharing!

I've never done this before. But my fiance died and I've been saving his t-shirts and I love crocheting. So now I think I can marry the two. ️ ☺️ what type of t-shirt fabric do I use? Does it matter? Because some of them are 100% cotton and some have polyester any advice before I start cutting? I would truly appreciate it and I hope this comment is read by those that are healthy and staying well and I pray for those that are not ❤️

Thanks for the video - works easily. One suggestion - I found that it was so much easier to do the final clipping if I slipped it over my leg while sitting down. It made it so much easier to cut with the larger leg surface and having both hands free.

@@Needlepointers For people that don't want to tie the yarn around their head I would like to try using a bead and go around the ear threading both ends into a bead and pulling it tight. Do you think this is a good option and do you know what size bead I would need. I cut my strips 1".

is it ok to cut the t-shirt yarn into the correct size strips for the masks? Do you need to sew the ends so they don't fray? thanks!

@Needlepointers 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Joseph! I'm glad to hear that our video is helping! I'm curious how you are using it to make masks. Is there a tutorial somewhere?

@calijeofficial 4 жыл бұрын

Mary W Klauke Hi! The T-shirt I used didn’t have a huge problem with fraying, so I didn’t have to sew the ends of anything. I used them as straps, and they did end up creating a few pills on the mask, but I just cleaned them up with a roller, and I think they will act as a great substitute for string.

Thank you so much! Thrilled to discover this link on the Million Mask group project on Facebook, where many of us who are sewing masks to donate to medical professionals battling COVID-19 are using t shirt yarn as the source for the ties a mask needs to hold it snug against one’s face. I have shared this too in my public COVID-19 album for anyone else needing it. Thank you and stay safe and healthy and in good spirits!

This was also a method i wanted to try out for mask ties because of a facebook post i saw, however I heard this will not hold up in the hospitals' washing machines. Anyone have any ideas to prevent it from getting shredded up while getting washed?

@sarahwebstervodrey9654 4 жыл бұрын

Kym Cores I have not seen that as a concern, at least not from the hospital I will be donating them to. I guess I assumed individuals would wash them at home in their own facilities. I have been making mine sturdy, and washed and dried the ties, whether rope or t shirt yarn (both 80-100% cotton)ahead of time so the shrinkage could happen immediately. I don’t plan on doing it but to stabilize the t shirt yarn, I bet you could sew a zigzag stitch right down the middle of whatever ties you’re using, and that would likely make them sturdier. Or perhaps use Stitch Witchery? That’s synthetic though and I’ve read some synthetics will melt in the industrial strength hospital washers and dryers. I will be interested to learn how you solve that issue. I will be using a lot more T-shirt yarn now that my dear husband ordered huge discs of precut t shirt yarn from Amazon, which comes from Fox Yarn Company. Sending very best wishes!

I had a pair of leggings that were kaput so I thought I’d cut it into strips and use it for covering hangers. It’s been working pretty good since the fabric is stretchy. Lesson learned though it’s good to have the strips an even width , mine weren’t even, so they went wide/narrow/wide
