Hubby being one of the last hold-outs who still wear undershirts...and after many years of watching good-quality cotton get thrown away, I am finally putting a stop to the madness and creating new madness.
The last stack of old t-shirts I dyed blue and brown and cut into strips as shown in the pictures below. I was actually so excited about just the yarn that I really hadn't thought about what I was going to do with it.
 |
| Cut off bottom and sleeve hems. I still don't know what I'll be doing with them but I am sure to think of something |
 |
| Fold in half... leaving 1 1/2" exposed, then cut ALMOST through. |
 |
| It's still all in one piece, but can then be cut to create a single strip. There are more detailed instructions online but it 's not my intention to provide that here. |
 |
| Once you have the cut, stretch each piece to make it curl into a super bulky yarn...then start knitting or crocheting. I've finally decided to make a large basket using crochet ...now that I've got a good start I'm pretty sure I'll need more t-shirts! 
Apparently someone has decided what to do with my basket..
 FINAL Version and I LOVE it  |
