    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    • @elsachavez8113
      @elsachavez8113 8 років тому +4

    • @The-Grateful-Hippie
      @The-Grateful-Hippie 8 років тому +5

      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!

    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.

    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 :)

    • @UpcycledStuff
      @UpcycledStuff  9 років тому

    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!!
