How To Make T-shirt Yarn - a Continous Strand
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ค. 2024
- In this video I will show you how to make one long continuous strip of yarn from a T-shirt. T-shirt yarn can be used to replace any other chunky yarn in you knitting, crocheting and weaving projects. And stay tuned because I have several projects that I'll post in the coming weeks that don't require a crochet hook or knitting needle.

Oh. My. Goodness. This is the best t-shirt yarn tutorial I've ever seen! Seriously! I will be sure to send anyone who asks me how I do it a link to this video because I'm terrible at explaining. Thanks!
I just used my homemade t shirt yarn to make a sturdy, but not hard toy basket for my nieces! Thank you!
My husband is about to loose a couple dozen t shirts....He doesn't need so many. :) I don't think I will care how greasy or stained they are either because I need a new rug, or two, or three.... lol. It's probably not a good thing that i saw this video. Thanks for the inspiration!
...maybe not a good thing for your hubby! :) Have loads of fun.
Candace Zikpi My theory is they'll never notice. Pretty sure mine wouldn't. :)
Candace Zikpi same here! 😂😚😂
Make a sweater or just another tshirt
Did you make the rugs? I want an update lol
This is brilliant. Thanks for doing the legwork! Can't wait to start using up those old shirts!!! This will be perfect for my next afghan!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Nice video and very informative. I would like to see more of your videos. Note: Safety first. People should ALWAYS close the cover on rotary cutters to avoid accidental cuts to the hand.
Love the Pill bottle center pull yarn ball!
What a great help! This stuff is crazy expensive at the craft stores.
loved the pill bottle idea for the centre pull piece
Your video is clear and done nicely. There are lots of similar ones out there, I wouldn't bother to remake what you have done, but my only suggestion is perhaps use a better color than black just so it's a bit easier to see what you are doing when you do the cross-cut on the diagonal. Your setup, timing, lighting and clarity of sound were all great. If you make other videos, keep on keeping on with the same.

Best video I have found for explaining this technique, beginning to end. Thank you.
Wow that pill bottle technique was genious, I love it when I learn something new. Great video.
OMG! The pill bottle technique! Brilliant!
This is a great video and I love the trick at the end. So much nicer than the way I've done in the past. Thank you for posting this video!
Great technique.
Never would have thought about something like this. Great way to save money.
Thanks for the video! I have been interested in making a rag rug for awhile and this is the perfect how-to!!!
awesome...was going to buy t shirt yarn. not now. love the pill bottle idea.
Love this tutorial. Now I want to tear into my t-shirt collection that needs purging and make yarn for my crocheting. Thank you for sharing!
Wow! You taught me so much .Not only did I learn to make t shirt yarn, I learned about the pill bottle trick. I hate to chase a ball of yarn . Thank you so much for sharing.
Good instruction. I learned from her about using a pill bottle to wrap the t-shirt yarn into a ball. Smart. So good to learn small useful tricks to make projects easier. Thank you.
This is the first video that was clear.. thanks!
This is a great idea l will be giving this a go thank you for giving good instructions. I started crocheting in my teens and I'm 61 next month.xx
You are a fantastic, clear, teacher! Love your voice...great trick w the bottle...more videos Plse. ! I could listen to all your videos ....some people are infuriatingly slow and repetitive ...you're a natural instructor ! Thank u
I absolutely loved this video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! I messed up my first shirt really bad but this video made things a LOT clearer than others have. Turned out perfect!!!!
jill rich Good to hear, I'm glad it worked out for you! Have fun with it!
this is great! I just found yarn on the store shelves and bought it instantly now I'm gonna make my own from
old/unwanted t-shirts and/or thrift store shirts for a much cheaper price.
and maybe even from bed sheets! thanks for this video!!
Just make sure the sheet you use is a knit not a woven sheet. Woven sheets will fray like crazy but knits won't. Have fun!
Super tutorial!! Love how you explained. Something new for me to try.
Video very clear & easy to understand. Thank you.
Making masks at home during Covid-19 - gonna use tshirt yarn for the ties.
Awesome ! Excellent idea for repurposing clothes! Thanks for sharing!
I love this video!! Thank you!! I have tons of t-shirts I don't need or wear and I've been looking at buying yarn. It's expensive! And most of it is made from a variety of stuff so it may or may not be washable. I need new bathroom rugs. I'm going to use your wonderful video to make yarn and rugs with what I already own.
Thank you so much for your time, knowledge and energy!! Be Abundantly Blessed Always!
My brother left behind 75 goofy t-shirts. This will help me just them. Thanks
absolutely brilliant video well explained and very very clear, thanks look forward to more.
That was really cool, I enjoyed watching that. I'm definitely going to try this. Thank you.
Great video, very easy to follow, heading for the goodwill tomorrow...Thanks ever so much.
Appreciate these instructions. Please, people, retract the blade of the rotary cutter every time you finish a cut. Those things will slice through a finger before you know it.
Great tips, thank you! Tshirt sleepwear also gives lots of material.
Fabulous! I can't wait to try this!!! How simple!!
Great tutorial! I have been making this yarn for a long time, but I did the continuous strand a different way. Now, I am going to do it your way, it seems much easier! I also like the pill bottle idea! If only I had a pill bottle or something about that size!
Thank you for sharing. It is very clear and looks simple enough. I think the hardest bit is going to be finding t-shirts with no seam.
such an awesome way to create yarns out of T-shirts.. i never knew it.. thank u so much for sharing
I love the tablet bottle idea i almost bought a yarn winder. Thanks so much
This is AMAZING!!! T-shirt yarn is so hard to find. I am buying t-shirts today!!
The pill bottle technique is very clever and I think it would save time and arthritic hands!
Excellent tutorial. Pill box trick is so clever.
BRILLIANT! I am sharing this in a couple places!!
GREAT idea with the pill bottle for a center-pull ball of yarn.
Neat! Just love it! Thank you for a lovely tutorial!
So helpful... cutting up shirts all weekend!! Plus I found a local woman on Ebay who makes huge skeins of this for cheap!
i have made tee shirt yarn before but had knots from connecting the the loops. boy, this is really nice. thanks.
Thank you for this tip on making a continuous t-shirt yarn ball. I bought lots of t-shirts last year at a Boy Scout rummage sale at a local church. I used the strips I made from the t-shirts to braid and make hair ties, wrist bands for Relay for Life. I bought about 20 t-shirts for $10. Also, garage sales are a great place to get t-shirts!!
Excellent! Glad you liked the video and I hope it sparked an idea or two for some new upcycled projects!
Great video! Now I'm ready to shop for t-shirts. Thx!
Nice!!! Great tutorial. Best of these t-shirt yarn tutorials I 've seen. And I forget, so I've viewed a lot of them.
Thanks Crystal...for the kind comment and the chuckle. You sound like me, on Pinterest. Thank goodness they have a "you pinned that already, dummy." warning now or my boards would be a mess! :}
Wow! Very good video i would have never thought that you can use a pill bottle for that..great idea thanks
Love, Love, Love this tutorial, Thank You soooo much!!!
Thank you for the GREAT detail!
Wow! Thanks for that so clear and he pill bottle centre is inspired!
Thanks! I like the idea of the pill bottle for the working end. :)
Great Video! Very clear instructions & video.
Wow. So simple! Thanks for sharing
That's genius with the pillbottle (of course I'll have to go and buy a spin because pill bottles from our pharmacies are square..typical British lol...but the aspirin you get at convenience shops are shaped right lol! Thanks my cats are going to love you xx
Really good advices. Thank you for sharing !
brilliant so clear and helpful. thank you!
Your adorable thanks so much for this awesome video and FF through the repetitive parts. Really great as I have a bunch of my DH white tshirts to do this technique with then dye awesome colors.
Your video is great! I'm working on my first rag-rug, made from bed sheets. Going to try to use t-shirts next, now that I know how.
Glad you liked it Janice B, I hope the rug turns out fabulous!
Great instructions! I’m doing it👍🏻💖💖💖
What a creative idea... thank you so much for the sharing :))))
My pleasure! Glad you liked it.
Your tutorial is well laid out and easy to follow. I'd like to try this soon. Thank you for sharing.
It's my pleasure, Lisa. Hope you try it soon!
Nice video. I especially liked the idea of using an old prescription bottle to wrap loose yarn with a center-pull. Also, your comments about considering the placement of prints/logos was helpful and a good tip.

... That pill bottle technique is so clever... 0.0
Thank you so much for this video! This is so much easier than I thought it would be :)
+rayfancy I'm glad to hear that! Have fun.
Have a friend who is a super sewer and is needing to retire soon due to knee problems. This would certainly be something she could add to her home business! Thanks for the ideas! Sometimes its difficult to understand what someone is doing in a video but the way you explain what you're doing, along with the action, its as if you're sitting in the same room doing it together! Thanks! I'll be sending this to her :)
I'm so glad it was easy to follow and hope your friend finds it super useful...I know a thing or two about knee problems and they are NOT fun!
thanks so much! the continuous wool idea is great for seamless crochet. :)
yes your voice is soothing..... good job
great idea, thank you for posting.
thanks so much for this! Saved me buying it for
£8!
this is awesome I never would have thought of it ty.. great video.
Thanks for this, I'm trying to re/up cycle as much as I can. ..As I am going to start by making cosy beds for my cats for when I take them up to Scotland with me (it seems unbelievable but the temperature can be much colder in winter. .normally it's similar or around 6°C lower but in winter it can be 20°C lower )so despite the woodstove I want them to have cosy beds that will help make them feel a bit better until they get used to it...I'm not bothered about writing on the cat beds just as long as the cats like them...but once I have made some things I want to make some throws and rugs and I will be wanting them without daft logos lol. I'm really happy to have found your site as the really thick wool is really expensive and, like I said recycling is what I want for the cabin in Scotland. ..it's about time more people did what you are doing xx
Just like making bias strips!
Thank You!
This is a wonderful and useful tutorial. I want to get some cheap white T-shirts and dye them and try this on a knitting patter I have. Thanks so much!
It's my pleasure, I'm glad it was useful...the thrift store is a great option for cheap T-shirts. Have fun with your project!
Very clever love it!
This was so helpful. I was looking online T-shirt yarn and they were pretty expensive
Thanks a lot for this great video. I have 10 Kilos of my old t-shirts just waiting for a project. :)
Well, I guess you have a "few" T-shirts! Have fun!
