This week’s inspiring 52 Weekends project is a t-shirt yarn project. This is a great idea for recycling old t-shirts and a cheap way to make new things, and I am all for that!

Making your own yarn is super simple, all you need is; one old t-shirt, pair of scissors and boom… yarn. If you cut it in one continuous zig zag motion you won’t even need to join it together. Obviously there are tons of things that can be made with this fabulous yarn but I wanted to make a trivet (to add to my food photography props). And if I am completely honest, I had a helper this weekend, my Mum came to stay and she is a much better and quicker knitter than me, so she did the most work!
