T-Yarn

I have a site bookmarked on my computer that uses recycled materials to make bags and purses.  While I've seen a lot of wal-mart bags used in crochet, I never knew about T-yarn.  This is taking t-shirts and cutting then to make a yarn to crochet or knit with.  What a good way to reycle old t-shirts.  We get a lot of them. The site is  http://www.myrecycledbags.com/2009/06/05/making-t-yarn-from-recycled-tee-shirts/  .


Here is a picture of the T-yarn taken from that site.A new project!

That is a very good idea. I may just have to go through my husbands drawer and see which ones have holes and start using them. He has a ton that I know he never wears. Thanks for the idea!

That is an awesome idea, Rhonda. Thanks for sharing. I have a question for you.. I have a dairy goat with twins... is it ok to milk her? Right now, I pen the kids at night, milk her in the morning and then let the kids with her for the rest of the day. I get about 1 quart of milk from her.. she has more but I don't want to stress her.

Thanks, Carol

T-shirt yarn hey hhhmmmm interesting!

Those cows did show up but didn't take me too lone to chase them back up the fence line and they have been gone for a whole day and prayerfully for days ~~

It seems like just a rather cool summer here this year. Yet when it gets hot it is really hot (well for us when I am told of 100+ degrees we are not that hot) I so enjoy hearing from you I am going to make a note of that site Thanks for the idea Roxanne

It is so sad they are such little rascals and get themselves into so much trouble.A black fox is just a rare colouring really of a red fox and cross foxes.Cross foxes are just another colour grouping of foxes. They are all the same as far as behaviour goes. The black fox is highly prized for its fur.

We had a cougar some miles down the road from here in late winter early spring but haven't heard of it for a long time. Hope it is not around Here is hoping and praying you get the culprits that are stealing the birds! Godd night for now Roxanne
