I cut up some old t shirts to make t shirt yarn.
I didn't know what I was going to do with it, just couldn't bear to throw the t shirts out.
Anyway, I've knitted most of them up and am surprised by how different the fabrics are. Thought some of you might be interested.
From the bottom:
1 is Gap, really surprised how thin this was.
2 is BHS, again, thin, but an old t shirt.
3 is M&S which was exactly how I wanted the yarn to be, thick and stretchy.
4 is a promo t shirt which was really smooth, thick and knitted up well. It had the advantage of not having any seams but wasn't quite as good a number 3.
I was surprised how t non-white some of them were too.
I've just added number 5 which is Joules then I've another M&S.
I'm hoping to make an origami bag.
