Now I think I might have to learn to knit......or do crochet with it!
Has anyone ever made the yarn out of fleece? I have seen it but not used it.

~I decided that that the sweatshirt yarn was too linty. T-yarn should be pulled so that it curls the edges in before you roll it into a ball. That doesn't really work with the sweatshirt material so the lint gets everywhere.
It was a fun experiment though.
I've started a stash of t-yarn balls and when I have enough I'll make something cool.
It's so nice to have a recycling idea for cotton blend tees. I usually only use 100% cotton tees in my recycling projects so I like knowing that I don't have to throw all those other tees away!~~Constance

Should be no problem to crochet with recycled tshirt yarn - think I'll play around with some myself!!

~I don't have a project in mind right now but I am cutting up and rolling balls of t-shirt yarn for a future project. My 100% cotton tees will go into other projects but the blends will be for yarn. The balls take up lots less space than the tees. Wonder how many I'll need for a rug? I think I'll hold out until I have 30 or more so I can pick a good color combo.~
