Simply amazing! I had no idea that it was possible to make string/cord like this. I can't find elastic to make masks and this does the trick. I can't thank you enough for your easy to follow instructions for this newbie. Thank you bunches! Stay safe. :)

@Needlepointers 4 года назад

You're very welcome!

@patriciamannina5821 4 года назад

@@Needlepointers For people that don't want to tie the yarn around their head I would like to try using a bead and go around the ear threading both ends into a bead and pulling it tight. Do you think this is a good option and do you know what size bead I would need. I cut my strips 1".

We’re in the middle of the pandemic and JOANN seems to not be able to fill my order for over a couple days this is saving my bacon in terms of making strips of fabric for mask making purposes. Thank you

@marywklauke8945 4 года назад

is it ok to cut the t-shirt yarn into the correct size strips for the masks? Do you need to sew the ends so they don't fray? thanks!

@Needlepointers 4 года назад

Hi Joseph! I'm glad to hear that our video is helping! I'm curious how you are using it to make masks. Is there a tutorial somewhere?

@calijeofficial 4 года назад

Mary W Klauke Hi! The T-shirt I used didn’t have a huge problem with fraying, so I didn’t have to sew the ends of anything. I used them as straps, and they did end up creating a few pills on the mask, but I just cleaned them up with a roller, and I think they will act as a great substitute for string.

@calijeofficial 4 года назад

Needlepointers Hi! I used this tutorial, but instead of elastic, I substituted with 10” strips of this T-shirt yarn. It worked pretty darn good! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o8OyV15ua24.html

@amandaloewen6479 2 года назад

I had a pair of leggings that were kaput so I thought I’d cut it into strips and use it for covering hangers. It’s been working pretty good since the fabric is stretchy. Lesson learned though it’s good to have the strips an even width , mine weren’t even, so they went wide/narrow/wide

@malakapadia415 7 лет назад

Excellent idea. If you need to join the pieces, I think butt two pieces with clear plastic thread , no bulk , and no seam exposed. .

@Needlepointers 7 лет назад

@amandas5303 8 лет назад

hi there, just wondering what size of hook would work for this cut size? what about the half inch cut? thanks!

@amandas5303 8 лет назад

also, could you not use the sleeve part either?

@Needlepointers 8 лет назад

To crochet something with the t-shirt yarn, you want to use a fairly large size crochet hook. There are quite a few patterns on the Internet for crocheting with t-shirt yarn. You should check them out. About using the sleeves, I would not recommend it because sleeve would make very short pieces and need a lot of joining making the yarn bulkier.

@ellie1484 3 года назад

mine aren’t staying in a conintuous strand, are they supposed to be connected on the bottom too?

@Needlepointers 3 года назад

The way you fold it you have folds on both sides and then you cut the connections on a diagonal so that it stays one continuous strand. Hope this helps!

@Daniellextina87 2 года назад

@patriciamannina5821 4 года назад

I just used a Hanes regular white undershirt. Worked like a charm. Don't know about the seams. The experts have to answer that one. Good luck!

@Needlepointers 4 года назад

Thanks for watching our video. I use all types of t shirts and it has worked for me. No sure why you are have trouble. And it is best if the t shirt does not have side seams.

@diyfunhouse2835 4 года назад

I'm trying to understand how to keep it together when you cut each strip diagonaly

@erin9457 4 года назад

Because you're not cutting through all the layers at once you're creating a strip, so you're cutting from one row to the next.

@diyfunhouse2835 4 года назад

@pannaashaah859 3 года назад

What if rhe t shirt has side stitches

@Needlepointers 3 года назад

It is best to use t-shirts with no side seams. If it has side seams the yarn will be bumpy.

I've never done this before. But my fiance died and I've been saving his t-shirts and I love crocheting. So now I think I can marry the two. ️ ☺️ what type of t-shirt fabric do I use? Does it matter? Because some of them are 100% cotton and some have polyester any advice before I start cutting?

Why do you cut the strips on an angle instead of straight

@Needlepointers 4 года назад

Hi. By cutting on an angle you will get one continuous strip of t-shirt yarn. If you would cut it straight, you would get short pieces.

@LovelyMagpie 3 года назад

This is a teensy bit short-sighted: you can use the printed part of the shirt; it will add variegation, but also INTEREST! Why does everything have to be so symmetrical? Ok, of you’re selling in a boutique or something and need uniformity, thats fine. But y’all better bet someone on EBay or Etsy will buy your “scraps”. Many craft product-lovers enjoy randomness and a ‘vintage’ quality. 😊 I’m very interested in ‘green crafting’🌱🌿

@Needlepointers 3 года назад

The reason I prefer not to use the printed part of the shirt is because that part of the t-shirt yarn would not be soft and flexible.
