Hello and welcome to my Etsy shop!
All of the yarn in this shop is hand-cut from never-worn or gently used cotton t-shirts found at rummage sales and thrift stores in Montana. Each shirt is pre-washed with an organic, homemade laundry detergent, then air-dried and hand-cut to create super bulky and bulky weights of yarn.
*** NEW REDUCED PRICING***
Practice isn't making me perfect, but much faster at making standard widths and lengths of yarn. I'm happy to pass along these savings to my customers! And I will continue to work to find ways to reduce the cost of production so we can all be a little greener : )
Prices are still determined by the yard; wholesale prices are available for yarn shop owners-please contact me at msomervilleq8 [!at] hotmail.com for more information.
Wondering just what to make with this stuff? Check out my free oven mitt pattern at

Or browse the archives of online magazines Tangled and Petite Purl for additional patterns designed specifically for t-shirt yarn. Free patterns are also available in my Ravelry shop: Melissa Somerville Designs.
Thanks for stopping by!
