once again, my family will be celebrating a handmade christmas this year. i plan to do many things with t-shirt yarn.
you could make all sorts of things with t-shirt yarn! maybe make a scarf, or knit a blanket, or oh, i don't know, maybe a crazy awesome t-shirt yarn necklace? it's up to you of course.

I can't wait to see what you do with this now.
This is fantastic. I have a bin of old tees and am going right now to try this.

Yes! This is great! I have lots I want to make with tshirt yarn but wasn't quite sure how to make it myself. Thank you!
I'd love for you to share at my weekly link party:

Just discovered your blog and love it! Ok, that said I need to explore some more!
Step 5, the crucial key to a continous strip! I have tried to understand instructions for making bias tape, I couldn't picture or understand the diagonal cut until seeing your photo.
Thanks a million!
Very cool idea! Now you could make a rug or something useful out of it!
Hi Bailey, what a neat idea. I would never have thought of doing that with my old t-shirts. I shall remember that for the future as we now have some really gorgeous colours, instead of the old boring white. I have recently found your blog and will follow more often. Please pop on over and visit mine and perhaps you would like to follow me also. I would like that. Hugs, Chris
You are featured at New Nostalgia's Anti-Procrastination Tuesday! Thanks for linking up!!
This is very neat. I can't wait to try!
I'm working on an oval area rug made with alternating white & green tees. Now I really do have the itch to dig it out & work on it some more!! (It's crocheted, by the way, just a very basic stitch with a huge hook.)
You! You're on Money Saving Mom! You are soooo famous!!! ;)
This is such an awesome idea... I'm going to try it and post it on my blog. I'll link back to you... thanks for the great crafty inspiration!

I just saw this and have some teen age granddaughters with no or little money. What a great idea for them to do something fun on Thanksgiving. Thanks
I love this, I have already made 6 balls of this from old t shirts and Im working knitting a beanie hat for my teen age son. he loves jersy material and loves the look of the hat already. Thanks for the lesson.
Love your blog. I posted a link to this project on my own blog: http://oliveobserver.blogspot.com/2011/11/mondaymust-diy-t-shirt-yarn.html
I'm going to knit some T-shirt legwarmers. So cool. Thanks!
So easy. Thank you. Now I know what to do with hubby's old t shirts other than using them for cleaning.
This is awesome! Just made it myself using this tutorial. Super easy and looks great.
Thanks for posting a very handy tutorial. I always wondered how this was done. I found you through Pinterest.
What about using the graphic too, would that work? I imagine it might require removing the sleeves and then sewing up the seam. What are your thoughts?
I found this on Reddit just as I was starting to make rugs of old t-shirt strips. Now I can have longer t-shirt strips with much less effort than what I was planning...
Luckily, I'd only cut off sleeves at that point. Crocheted t-shirt rugs, here I come!
Fantastic tutorial - way better than others I've seen. I included a link to this post in a roundup on my blog this morning: http://www.mooglyblog.com/2012/04/09/making-your-own-yarn-6-great-tutorials/
Fantastic
