My husband is about to loose a couple dozen t shirts....He doesn't need so many. :) I don't think I will care how greasy or stained they are either because I need a new rug, or two, or three.... lol. It's probably not a good thing that i saw this video. Thanks for the inspiration!

Your video is clear and done nicely. There are lots of similar ones out there, I wouldn't bother to remake what you have done, but my only suggestion is perhaps use a better color than black just so it's a bit easier to see what you are doing when you do the cross-cut on the diagonal. Your setup, timing, lighting and clarity of sound were all great. If you make other videos, keep on keeping on with the same.

Thank you for this tip on making a continuous t-shirt yarn ball. I bought lots of t-shirts last year at a Boy Scout rummage sale at a local church. I used the strips I made from the t-shirts to braid and make hair ties, wrist bands for Relay for Life. I bought about 20 t-shirts for $10. Also, garage sales are a great place to get t-shirts!!

By sliding a small cutting mat (instead of your arm) inside the shirt after cutting with the rotary cutter, you can lay the shirt flat on the mat and again use your rotary cutter for the final little cuts. I saw this done in another video.

Thanks for this, I'm trying to re/up cycle as much as I can. ..As I am going to start by making cosy beds for my cats for when I take them up to Scotland with me (it seems unbelievable but the temperature can be much colder in winter. .normally it's similar or around 6°C lower but in winter it can be 20°C lower )so despite the woodstove I want them to have cosy beds that will help make them feel a bit better until they get used to it...I'm not bothered about writing on the cat beds just as long as the cats like them...but once I have made some things I want to make some throws and rugs and I will be wanting them without daft logos lol. I'm really happy to have found your site as the really thick wool is really expensive and, like I said recycling is what I want for the cabin in Scotland. ..it's about time more people did what you are doing xx
