old tshirts into yarn

this weekend i was hanging out with caitlin and she was telling me how she is going to make old tshirts into cotton yarn. i was instantly curious, because i have so many tshirts that i wont really be able to sell. i did some searching on google for instruction and found a couple of blogs/websites to let me know what to do.

  3. What a neat idea! I'd never heard of such a thing before. It looks super soft. My boyfriend has several dozen old shirts that are essentially home-bound due to little stains or tiny holes and if I can convince him that it's for a worthy cause I'm so hoping he'll let me have my way with them!

    Can't wait to see what you make with them :)
