Hettie;
What size loom are you using?  Sounds interesting if I had the right sized loom!

Hi Cathy
I buy the t-shirt string, if I can call it that, in1K ball. It looks like the binding one use to work off a neckline or round the arm holes when making a dress or top. The one I use at present is a bright yellow and rather stiff and stretchy which makes it somewhat hard to work with. It is almost like strong elastic you use in skirts or trousers. I prefer the softer less stretchy t-shirt string but this was the last ball they had. 
I also bought some raffia to try a handbag for a small girl. Will have to see how that will work on a smaller round loom.
Take care
Hettie

Hi Hetti,

Wow, a rug by your bed sounds like a good project. once we had a class on making a doormat using plastic bags, but no one has ever taught a class on how to make a rug on a loom.
I am not certain what you mean by "tee shirt string." Is this cotton yarn or have you cut tee shirts into strips and used them like yarn?
