I wanted to learn how to make
T-shirt Yarn or "Tarn"
as it is sometimes called.
T-shirt Yarn or "Tarn"
as it is sometimes called.
I had heard alot about it, so decided to try it.
The first thing I did was raid my husbands
T-shirt drawer. Once I picked the color I wanted,
I laid the it on the counter flat, and cut the hem off
and cut across the chest, right under the sleeves.,
I The turned it side ways so the folds were on the top and bottom.
I folded the Top down about 2 inches.
(Now, I did not measure anything,
I eyeballed it all.)
I cut from bottom to top about 1 inch strips,
stopping short of the fold. I did this all the way across the the T-Shirt.
I opened the end of the T-shirt the I did not cut, and mat a cut from the first,
strip to the next strip. It will be a slanted cut.
I was struggling a little with cutting the next slanted cuts,
so I got out my big tea pitcher, and laid it the T-Shirt on top.
This really helped a lot.
As I cut each strip, I unwound it and let it drape to the floor.
Isn't it pretty?
Once I had the "Tarn" all cut, It need to be stretched to look like yarn.
I gently pulled on the yarn to get it to stretch,
but not to hard or it will break.
I ended up making three different colors. I had to stop,
because all the cutting was rubbing a blister on my finger.
(yes, I am a big baby!)
With Tarn I made this yarn Bowl.
I think is is lovely.

Thanks, it was fun.
Great idea. I've been eyeballing all the tshirts my dh has and this might be a way to thin out his collection ;)
Great tutorial, I can't wait to give this a try. :)

This is a great idea. And it makes me think of a problem I have encountered. Many T-shirt are too long for me, do you know of a way to hem a T-shirt that is stretchable and looks nice, besides buying a serger machine?
