Turning old t shirts into a rug!
I had a bunch of old white cotton t shirts I was going to throw away, but I decided to turn them into yarn, and knit a rug! First, I used black dye to turn them grey (I meant them to be black but I guess I didn't use enough dye). Then I cut them up with a rotary cutter in a spiral to have one continuous string. Then I connected them and wound them into yarn. It's a very long hard process, and this is a picture of my progress so far. Not very pretty, but it will be very useful and really washable!Thankyouverymuchforsharing! Nice ideia! Very clever idea :loveliness: a lot of work but it sounds like it will be well worth it, and fun to try something new! wow, the process turning t shirts into yarn would be very long, but this rug is very useful, well done Very clever!Any advice on stitch to use for a nice, thick, flat rug with such yarn? I think it's super pretty! And I love the color, way better than black :) Thanks for sharing:) I’ve seen this done before through crochet, not knitting. Interesting! thankyouforyour sharing thankyouforyour sharing Very nice very nice.... Very nice ! very nice:) Very nice and indeed a lot of work, good luck. :) Thanks for sharing! This monkey looks so much fun. Wow, great idea! Lovely & Clever! Thank you very much!
