Tailings of cotton fabrics are cut and repurposed into this versatile yarn, which offers something special for many different fibre creatives! All rolls are a recycled cotton/Lycra mix. Please note that due to the recycled and repurposed nature of this fibre, some rolls have a higher percentage of Lycra in the cotton mix, and therefore will have a different amount of stretch. There is also a range in thickness of this fibre from colour to colour. Please also note that this is a raw-edged fibre AND it naturally rolls inward to create a rounded effect (that can be ironed flat). Finally, please note that there are some sections of this fibre where tailing ends have been sewn or knotted together to prevent waste in the winding process. A slight bit of stretch gives this recycled cotton t-shirt yarn excellent recovery, but also makes it less than ideal for weight-bearing creations (such as macrame plant hangers). Macrame makers and weavers, you’ll love the soft, silky texture and dramatic drape of t-shirt yarn. It offers a terrific alternative to rope and string for wall hangings, small plant hangers, keychains, jewelry, dreamcatchers, and coasters. Crocheters and knitters, this is the perfect fibre for basket making, floor rugs, floor poufs, bath mats, pot holders, and dish cloths. Anywhere you want an extra bit of structure and flex, recycled cotton t-shirt yarn can be your go-to.
