How to make T-shirt yarn the easy way 🧶 🙌🏻 | Crochet project ideas for T-shirt yarn

[@katecreates7]

No me about to runnn to goodwill 😂😂😂 this is so great! I can’t ever find t-shirt yarn in any of the shops near me! I love this better anyways, there’s so much clothing waste in the world. (And I def need a new rotary blade for this project 😆)

[@BagsbyBento]

Rotary blade is definitely faster😅

This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing. My husband passed away recently and I think I'm going to use all his t-shirts to make me some yarn to crochet bags with. Happy crocheting❤

[@BagsbyBento]

🥹 that’s a wonderful idea. Sending you lots of love ❤️

[@davidsimpson7307]

Just what I was looking for. I'm a 63 yr old widow who's husband passed away last yr. Well boy have I got T shirts and time on my hands. I love crafting and have even made wool braided rugs. But quilting is my favorite. I've been doing it for over 30yrs but sometimes I need to change things up and learn new things.I want to try some crafts using T shirt yarn, like maybe some place mats, rag rugs and that little basket you made is adorable. Thanks for the cutting tutorial.

[@cjbh61]

I'm here for the same reason. I'm thinking a kitchen rug, but placemats sound good too. My late husband's been gone 2 years now. I think I'm ready. 😢 Sorry for your loss!

[@Kathe255]

I'm here for the same reason! I'm 60 also lost my husband last year. And lots of T shirts. I just made several aprons from his collared shirts. They are adorable!!

[@dawnstrazdon8586]

​@@Kathe255 there are adorable crafts to make with those ties as well . Stay busy and bless.

[@Kathe255]

@@dawnstrazdon8586 thank you!

[@jennifurmichelle]

I think it would be a wonderful way to remember your loved one too - using his old t shirts and creating a craft with them!❤

[@Froggies74]

Wow i didnt know it was this easy! Time to gather all my old shirts!!

[@BagsbyBento]

Super easy! It took less than an hour to cut four shirts and make a big ball of yarn!

[@jennifurmichelle]

And so much less expensive! T shirt yarn isn't cheap!

[@ic9366]

Wow, this is excellent!! Thank you so much for this tutorial, easy explanation and right to the point 😊

[@BagsbyBento]

You're very welcome! Happy you enjoyed it

[@SRay-or3nc]

I've done this a few times and made a few rugs, but I needed a refresher course and this was great! Sometimes some of the people that show this get so talkative that I have to fast forward. Yours was just right!❤

[@BagsbyBento]

I'm glad it was helpful! I try to keep it concise.

[@emily077canu3]

An amazing video thank you 🙏🏻 I’m from Guatemala and you helped me a lot 😆😆😆

[@BagsbyBento]

Amazing! I’m happy to hear that!

[@Zsklskdjsjsj]

I love this upcycling you don’t need to buy yarn to do something when you got so many old shirts shirts laying around!!

[@mandaskillz]

Thank you!! I am currently going through my old clothes so this is perfect!

[@BagsbyBento]

Happy to help you upcycle!

[@musicfreak1950]

This is great to use old T-shirts. When you attach the yarn together in the middle of the stitch instead of weaving the ends in later lay them across the top and crochet over them.

[@bellacucina3209]

I'm all in for your tute. Great idea and will be quicker to complete, instead of using regular yarn when making my feline bed Thanks for sharing.

[@divinegracecreations]

This I call brilliant! So easy. T-shirt yarn is also expensive where I live and what better way to get free yarn than from old t-shirts 👚 💃🏿🤸🏾‍♀️ Hmmm... 🤔, me going to see if I still have some old t-shirts 👕 squeezed in somewhere! 😂. Thanks for this! ❤️

[@BagsbyBento]

Of course! Have fun! You could totally do a patchwork with bunches of colors! They don’t all have to be the same.

[@divinegracecreations]

@@BagsbyBento Ahh! That's right. 👍🏾

[@jaz6849]

This is so smart i can't wait to try it!

[@BagsbyBento]

Have fun! I had a blast making it 🧶

[@Natur.471]

Love it❤🎉

[@cindyhosken5647]

Thank you - I will go look!😊

[@BagsbyBento]

You’re welcome! Have fun!

[@TagAlongWithDalong]

magic!!! thank you :)

[@BagsbyBento]

You're so welcome!

[@andreaconde2777]

Hi!! 🫶 Do you have any idea of the length of the final yarn? Thanks for the video! ✨

[@tammiepressley2684]

Thank you so much

[@aideleon516]

Hi Thank you very much , i just cut and stretch and made my first T shirt yarn ( Trapillo) now i need to make more to make one of your projects I am so excited, Can you please tell me how many more balls of yarn or how many T shirts i need to make the blue basket ?

[@BagsbyBento]

I used three xxl t shirts to make the basket!

[@lawi_prusha3702]

thank you so much!!

[@longbraidediva-pj2qc]

Thankyou for this video

[@cindyhosken5647]

What brand scissors do you use and where did you get them? I bought a pair that looks just like yours, but won’t cut through 4 layers of T-shirt material!

[@Ananalias]

I found a tutorial for a Laptop bag on your website. Can I do that with shirt yarn as well? What do I have to keep in mind when I replace the material (I guess it will be thicker?)?

[@BagsbyBento]

You totally could! It should be pretty similar in weight but I would measure your chain and make sure it will fit your laptop!

[@Ananalias]

@@BagsbyBento thank you :)

[@cindyhosken5647]

What brand of scissors are you using and where did you get it from?

[@BagsbyBento]

Oh man… I’m not sure! I’ve had them for forever. I’ve seen similar style at Joann fabric store though!

[@katecreates7]

Do you stick to 100% cotton shirts or is any shirt fine?

[@BagsbyBento]

Something with a little stretch actually works great!

[@giantschick21]

Does using the no-knot method cause the finished product to unravel or break apart? Do you need to reinforce it in anyway?

[@saipranavkitchen2355]

We can cut any fabric like that

[@nomezcop7141]

What size hook are you using for the t-shirt yarn?

[@BagsbyBento]

9mm in this video but it varies depending in the yarn!

[@beenishafzaal2380]

How much( in grams) do we get from one t shirt

[@mariecabaneshucamis]

why nit cut theough circular as to have un enfinity yarn

[@BagsbyBento]

That’s an option too if you have a big enough t-shirt!!

[@MelissaHensley-k1x]

❤

[@smokeykitty6023]

What a good idea and your instructions are very plain! I'm going to give it a whirl on some old tshirts that I can't wear but just can't let go of.

[@hatsypatatsy]

Theres a much better way to connect the ends, but hard to explain. Find other videos that do it
