- 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 ❤️

@@adevore1971 thank you so much.
Oh man, this is a life saver! I've been wanting to make t-shirt yarn but couldn't figure out how to make one continuous strand. Thank you for sharing this! ❤
The sound of the fabric being cut is sooooooooo satisfying 😍😂 Tha k you for this tutorial! 😊💕
Thanks for the comment Laine! We have a lot of ways to recycle t-shirts here: needlepointers.com/main/ShowArticles.aspx?NavID=2465.
Love
I totally agree with you ❤❤❤
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.
Great tip!
Simply amazing! I had no idea that it was possible to make string/cord like this. I can't find elastic to make masks and this does the trick. I can't thank you enough for your easy to follow instructions for this newbie. Thank you bunches! Stay safe. :)
You're very welcome!
@@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".
This is the best t-shirt yarn video!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, many of us are watching this video to make masks for hospitals.
Thanks Mylene for making masks for hospitals!
Thank you for posting this! I have a mat & rotary cutter and love this method, it’s so much easier than cutting the spiral with scissors, but I personally prefer 1 1/2 to 2 inch strips. Enjoy crafting!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed our video!
Your's is the easiest tutorial I have seen yet. Can't wait to repurpose a bunch of old t shirts for a crocheted toy box for my grandkids
This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video! That’s so cool! I really appreciated learning how to make it continuous. I do a fair amount of covering pairs of hangers with fabric so my slippery shirts don’t slide off the hangers. I think this is a great way to up cycle old T-shirts
That is a great idea!
Thank you so much!! Just started crocheting and this looks like a very soft way to make something!!

In singapore 🇸🇬, it is hard for me to find a tshirt yarn (also maybe because I barely go out), so I find this video really really useful with many of my unused tshirts laying around.
So thank you! ❤️ can't wait to make them!
Thank you great tutorial easy to follow! This is my 2nd attempt at t shirt yarn, my first was so uneven, this made it more uniform. Thanks again!
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!
Sarah, Hi! Thanks for letting us know. We did not know it was shared on that group and I was wondering about some of the new questions we were getting today! Glad to hear it's helping with the mask making. It's such a worthwhile project.
I'm using this method to make some masks too for people.
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?
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!
@@MegaNinjapanda I was thinking maybe braiding it? But that would probably be too thick then to tie to the back of the head.
Thank you so much. I didn't make anything with it other than a dog toy but I couldn't figure out how to make the T-shirt yarn without your video. Thank you for sharing your technique.
We’re in the middle of the pandemic and JOANN seems to not be able to fill my order for over a couple days this is saving my bacon in terms of making strips of fabric for mask making purposes. Thank you
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!
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?
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.
Needlepointers Hi! I used this tutorial, but instead of elastic, I substituted with 10” strips of this T-shirt yarn. It worked pretty darn good! th-cam.com/video/o8OyV15ua24/w-d-xo.html
I love your videos I don’t know why but they make me want to fall asleep
Ok this is brilliant!
I have finally reached a point in my decluttering where I know there's tshirts I am no longer going to wear. I don't want to donate them, because the quality is not one I would buy, but they are not at a rags stage. I'm also weirdly sentimental about them.
But I saw some videos about making cool pot holders with old tshirts and I want to try that.
Thanks for the tutorial!

Brilliant as I have a collection of old T-shirts. Thanks 🙏🏻
Fantastic! Subscribe to our channel so you won't miss new videos!
Thank you SO much!!! So easy after you showed me how. I cut the strips with my rotary cutter and I was done in no time. Thanks again!!
Thank you Lady!! Thank you so much... ther was no where I could find T Yarn in my country.. This solves my problem
This is the most easiest and understanding video I have seen on how to make tshirt yarn.thank you for making this video. I will definitely be making some.can you could do this with old sheets and thin fleece throw blankets to?
Glad it was helpful! Old jersey type sheets may work but we have not tried it. Cotton sheets would not work. You would have to test with the fleece as I am not sure if it would work.
Thank you for your tutorial. This is the video that explains this technique more clearly.
Too clever ...Super idea... No need of cutting stripes and joining them... Thank u👍
Welcome 😊
Thank you for this tutorial 😁 I'm from Philippines and this would be very helpful to my family
Glad it was helpful! What will you make with the t-shirt yarn?
Best described video on TH-cam! Thank you miss lady 🙂
Wow, thank you!
So happy, now I have a new use for my old t-shirts.
Thank you for watching our video on making t-shirt yarn and for your comment. It's an excellent way to repurpose old t-shirt into something useful. Another idea for old t-shirts is to make a t-shirt quilt. You may want to check out this page on how: www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=2643
Guess I'll be canceling my order of T-shirt yarn from Amazon. This is awesome. Thank you so much!
Woo Hoo! Glad we could help. If you need ideas of things to make with the t-shirt yarn, visit this page on our web site: www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=2465
Excellent idea. If you need to join the pieces, I think butt two pieces with clear plastic thread , no bulk , and no seam exposed. .
Good idea.
Wonderful video thank you so much. I saved my hand strength a bit by using my rotary cutter instead of scissors as I have arthritis but it worked great!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing that idea. Now that you made t-shirt yarn you may want to visit our t-shirt yarn project page at: www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=3742

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! Best tutorial and very easy to follow, you are a life saver
You're welcome!
Thank you for the amazing video. Just not easy to have t shirt with no side seams.
So true.
Now I know how to make t-shirt yarn. Thank you for sharing it.
You’re welcome 😊
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
This is a good idea to upcycling old t-shirts.Thanks for the video !!!
Thank 🌻 you so VERY MUCH!!😊 I am so very grateful to you for teaching me this! God richly bless you!
You are so welcome!
Great tutorial! Have been looking for some time and finally found it. Thank you!
I had forgotten how to do this and found your video! I’m using an old-ish shirt to make eat loops for my daughters’ masks😷 ☺️
That is awesome!
Thank you so much. I always wanted to make my own rugs and now I can.

Tip... To make your diagonal cuts loop the project over an ironing board for a flat surface.

@@Needlepointers I just subscribed. Thank you so much ❤️ I'm only about halfway through the videos so far. Does it matter the blend of fabric used in the T-shirt? Some have polyester, some are all cotton? Thank you in advance ️ ❤️
São peças que da pra aproveitar e não jogar no lixo muito bom mesmo
Thankx dear sure I will try
How could I have missed this until now? What an awesome idea!!! I love it! I was wondering if you could also do this with those cheap cotton mock-turtleneck shirts, too? Thanks for a great video!
I would think you could do it with those shirts too. It wouldn't hurt to try it out!
