    You have no idea how much this helped me!!! I've been looking everywhere for a soft, non scratchy metallic yarn. Its for the cuffs and trim on a toddler hoodie, so couldn't be plasticy or scratchy AT ALL! Every one i found was crazy expensive, like $17 for 100 yards. Your video inspired me to cut fine strips from a length of gold lamé: quarter inch wide, knit up on #6 needles. It's working GREAT so far, knitting up really squishy on those small needles, with a really soft, silky hand! And on those tiny strips, Wendy's loop loop pull through method made the joins almost invisible.. Thanks so much!

      When I was a kid made pot holders with these bands. If you slip them together you can make a fabric and crochet a nice rug.

    You can also use the bias tube method to sew your fabric before you cut the strips - gives you yards of joined fabric "yarn" by sewing only one seam.

    Awesome tips Vickie. I used your last method with the black and white fabric to rip chiffon and turn it into yarn. I feel like such a big girl now. :)))))

    Hi Vickie, I live in Carmichael CA. I am just starting to learn how to make yarn from T-shirts. I am going to use the yarn to crochet a border for turning a sweatshirt into a jacket.

    Nice! Thank you. I like the Knit Collage yarn, but it's pretty pricey. This is a good alternative to that yarn.

      Susan! You sound like me. I'm finishing up 8 "Teddy" puppies for my great nieces and nephews! I have one completely done, 36superman/supergirls chevrons to finish embroidering with their initials and have two more to go, and then it's time to construct the last 7 of them (I decided to go production line with the 7 after the first one was done). The puppies themselves are all knitted. Do you give the afghans to them as you get them done? I was thinking about doing that in the future. My brother's kids are having a lot of babies! :-)
