[Nfb-krafters-korner] tee shirt yarn

Carol,
 
I can give you 2 resources to get T Shirt fabric.  One is a baby/kids  
fabric source and the other is adult.
 
It comes in 60 inches wide and you can buy it by the yard.  That will  make 
a long piece of this for you.  I don't see why you couldn't rotary cut  it.

A  few months ago I read about tee shirt yarn and I have been 
wanting to make  some to crochet with.  Last week, at a huge flea 
market in Miami, I  bought 5 tee shirts for 10 dollars in tropical 
colors.  I am going to  try to crochet either a pillow or a bag 
with it.

What you do is,  starting from the bottom of the shirt cut in a 
spiral around the shirt to  make a continuous strip.  When you tug 
on the strip the edges   roll up on itself to make a yarn.
Has anyone else done  this?

Carol
