I hate throwing clothes out. Apart from the fact that they’ve normally cost a bit, I don’t like to see something nice end up in a rubbish bag, it feels like such a waste. Of course you can donate them to charity, but if you’d like them to have a second life with you first then turning them into t-shirt yarn and creating something new is the perfect way to do it! I know that I’m not always as full of ideas as I am as full of good intentions so today I’m sharing 10 things to make with t-shirt yarn to inspire you as well as sharing a tutorial for how to make t-shirt yarn yourself.

I have seen a rig made with it and it looked amazing. Some people are so crafty and it is a great way to recycle it.

My Pinterest obsessed teen is constantly giving me ideas for this but I don’t think we’re crafty enough to so anything that will actually be wearable or useable 😉

This is such a great idea! We have loads of old T shirts that I would have just given to charity – I may have a go at something crafty instead!
