We're all about recycling materials to make something new - we even have an upcycling section right here on Gathered! Fast fashion is awful for the planet and every year thousands of t shirts end up in landfills across the world. One Girl Social is on a mission to change that! She's created this fab t shirt yarn tutorial which will show you how to turn old clothes into your own chunky t-shirt yarn. T shirt yarn and plarn are great alternatives to wool and are just as easy to knit, knot, or make with. It's a really diverse material and can be really unique depending on the design and colour of your t shirt. Follow One Girl Social's how to make T shirt yarn tutorial then use your new yarn on a project right here on Gathered. Isabella Strambio's macrame bunting would be a great project to use your new t shirt yarn on. Now on with the tutorial!
Once you've learned how to make t shirt yarn head to our recycled craft ideas collection for some more eco-friendly projects! Or for equally soothing DIYs, how about our guides to how to make bath bombs or how to make wax melts?
