How to make T-ROPE! T-Shirt yarn

This is a fast method we have discovered to recycle into reuse 100% cotton t-shirts that produces a continuous yarn called T-ROPE!. We have learned from other tutorials that have gone before us, and think we have streamlined a method to produce a fast, consistent, rope-quality yarn that yields a smooth, elegant fiber suitable for knitting, crochet and weaving.

In this 8-minute video, Artist Karen Flowers shows you in real time how to cut and convert one t-shirt into a ball of T-ROPE! yarn. For patterns and projects, visit us at www.FalconFeatherFibers.net.
