T Shirt Into Yarn

Well..my fav old grey t-shirt has now been turned into "t shirt yarn "  I had several small holes along the bottom on the t-shirt that made it unwearble for me :( . SO i trimmed off that part and cut into strips for "yarn"  Since there are SO many great posts already on the web about how to do this i will just link to them :) I am one of those folks who beleive in reusing everything one can in thier life.. Why spend add to the land fill or even spend $$ for things if i can make them basically for free. Friends save me their old  t-shirts and i cut them up till i have enough for a locker hooked rug or to crochet into a rug or bag or even a washrag :)
Here are the links to tutorials to help you do the same things .. http://www.craftpassion.com/2009/05/recycle-tutorial-making-of-t-shirt-yarn.html   and then http://mousechirpy-polkadotpineapple.blogspot.com/2008/03/tutorial-t-shirt-yarn.html and another http://www.myrecycledbags.com/category/t-shirt-yarn-crafts/

    I've heard of doing that, you can do it to just about any fabric, the give it has will depend on the fabric. :) Neat idea tho.

    it makes really good locker hooking fabric.. Rugs are great with it too..........my hands have hard time with the bulky part of it though ... I would love to crochet a shawl with it one day
