So you’ve got your Generation-T book and you know how to transform your old tees without using fusibles, but have you made or used t-shirt yarn?

Check out these three Etsy sellers that have some amazing t-shirt yarns. All are cut in one continuous line from old tees and transformed into yarn.

T-shirt yarn can be a bit stretchy and it can shed due to the material is was cut from, so be aware. T-shirts also don’t produce much yardage, but it is a fun yarn and an interesting way to reuse an unwanted t-shirt.

Bella Flower and Implexus offer a small selection of hearty t-shirt yarn. I especially like the soft pink yarn from Implexus.

North Street Crochet is offering a great deal to help get more yardage for a project. This Earth Tones package comes with over 200 yards of t-shirt yarn in a nice mix of deep earthy colors.
