Let’s dive in and explore the world of what T-Shirt Yarn has to offer so you can make something fabulous today!
What is t-shirt yarn?
If you’re looking for a fun and creative way to crochet, then t-shirt yarn crochet is a great option. Also known as ‘t-yarn’, fabric yarn or jersey yarn, t-shirt yarn is made by cutting jersey knit fabric into long strips. This creates a thicker and more durable yarn that’s perfect for crochet projects!
Its sturdy nature makes it particularly suitable for crocheting or knitting home décor and various bags and purses.
Tips working with tee yarn
When using t-shirt yarn for crochet projects, one important thing to keep in mind is that because t-shirt yarn is made from fabric, it’s important to take your time. T-shirt yarn is a lot stiffer than regular yarn. If you are new to t-shirt yarn, your hands may tire quickly due to the unfamiliarity of it.
For the best results when working with Knitznpurlz t-shirt yarn, it is recommended to use needles or a hook in size 5mm-12mm, and I personally prefer an 8 mm hook.
Crocheting and knitting with T-shirt yarn is an incredibly quick process, due to its bulky nature. Generally, it takes a mere couple of hours to finish the entire project. Knitting or crocheting with chunky yarn is an ideal project for those just starting out, given that the stitches are large and clearly visible.
It is also important to keep in mind that t-shirt yarn will shrink when washed in a dryer. Therefore it is best to lay dry all projects made with t-shirt yarn!
