It couldn’t be simpler, really. This gray yarn ball above was from one of my son’s old shirts, only using the bottom of the shirt up to the armpit. Approx. 5 yards once stretched.

The video tutorial I found is over at Jewelry Tutorial HQ. I followed right along.

Now I’ve got my nifty new ball of yarn. It’s soft, jersey material, but has more of an industrial type use. Here are a few projects I have in mind:

1. Jersey Knit Bracelets  2. T-shirt Yarn Bowl  3. Crochet Mesh Bags 4. Chunky Crochet Basket  5. Crochet T-Shirt Yarn Rug! Have you made t-shirt yarn before? What are you crocheting with it? Share your links and projects!
