T-Shirt Rug

I started cutting old t-shirts yesterday to make yarn for this project.  It was a fun and quick project but I don't recommend using t-shirts with any hint of lycra- they make it a little more difficult to keep the tension correct.  Now I am going to try to finish up some pre-felts I need for a special project I'm planning- have a wonderful afternoon!

  8. Oh, now I know what you mean ...

    I agree it's not handy to mix the lycra-stretch-rags with the normal cotton ones - but if you separate them, and combine them with socks f.e., the stretchiness won't matter.
