MikesTShirtYarn

T shirt yarn is great for making hot pads, pot holders, scrubbers and more. Use it for weaving and macrame as well. It's uses are as infinite as our imaginations. Best of all it is washable just like the old t shirt was.

T Shirt Yarn for the Eco Conscious. Here you will find a selection of handmade yarn recycled from T shirts. Recycled T Shirt Yarn is an easy way to participate in saving our home planet Earth.

Each ball of yarn is made using a clean, no longer wanted T shirt. I accurately cut each shirt into a continuous ribbon of fabric (never any knots or seams). Next, I stretch the ribbon of fabric into the beautiful, smooth yarn that you see in my shop. I am always careful to make sure that the sides of the ribbon roll over nicely so that there are no cut edges showing. Each skein will come to you in a convenient, ready to use, center pull ball.

Each T shirt used is a previously owned, once loved shirt. All of my yarns are truly a recycled product. I do not buy new t shirts to meet a particular color need, or for the purpose of dying. I do not dye any T shirts. The colorful (or Variegated) yarns are made using commercially or previously tie dyed shirts.

Each ball of yarn is made from a single T shirt. I use clean but previously owned t shirts. Usually it is one color at a time because I rarely find multiple shirts of the same color that match. Even though I may have several balls of the same color they each came from an individual shirt and would not match each other exactly in color or hue.

This yarn is an Eco Friendly product. Since each skein is cut by hand the only energy used is human energy. Cookies and milk are all that is needed to renew this energy source. Using T shirt yarn also means not using yarns that were made using a less eco-conscience method (factories).

I enjoy the hunt for unique shirts or colors for my yarn. If you are looking for a certain color I would be happy to try and find it for you. I am convo friendly.

You may want to visit my other shop where I have my crochet hats. I make these too. Most of my hats are made using rescued yarns. Brand new yarns are used only when necessary.

Please, come in and look around. Remember to check back often because new yarns are listed every week (sometimes every day).

Please read my profile for an explanation for how I gauge the size of my yarns.

Thank you, Mike
