You have no idea how much this helped me!!! I've been looking everywhere for a soft, non scratchy metallic yarn. Its for the cuffs and trim on a toddler hoodie, so couldn't be plasticy or scratchy AT ALL! Every one i found was crazy expensive, like $17 for 100 yards. Your video inspired me to cut fine strips from a length of gold lamé: quarter inch wide, knit up on #6 needles. It's working GREAT so far, knitting up really squishy on those small needles, with a really soft, silky hand! And on those tiny strips, Wendy's loop loop pull through method made the joins almost invisible.. Thanks so much!
Hello Vickie.... I wasn't home from work on time to watch. Darn. The replay was informative and helpful!! TFS! Enjoy your holiday in Palm Springs!! ❤xo💜xo💙xo💛xo💖xo💚
Awesome tips Vickie. I used your last method with the black and white fabric to rip chiffon and turn it into yarn. I feel like such a big girl now. :)))))
Hi Vickie, I live in Carmichael CA. I am just starting to learn how to make yarn from T-shirts. I am going to use the yarn to crochet a border for turning a sweatshirt into a jacket.
Love the join using the slit method will try it, what do you think of plarn yarn have you used it I haven't used it yet. Thank you for sharing and as always love, laughter and happy crafting.
Yes! I actually did an episode of this series on it. I've made a lunch bag with it, and also have instructions for mats for the homeless up on my site: vickiehowell.com/2018/03/plarn/
Susan! You sound like me. I'm finishing up 8 "Teddy" puppies for my great nieces and nephews! I have one completely done, 36superman/supergirls chevrons to finish embroidering with their initials and have two more to go, and then it's time to construct the last 7 of them (I decided to go production line with the 7 after the first one was done). The puppies themselves are all knitted. Do you give the afghans to them as you get them done? I was thinking about doing that in the future. My brother's kids are having a lot of babies! :-)
i live in beautiful central Oregon. this weekend i sewed some knit/crochet project bags with the help of a video from hueloco.com. the first and second bags i sewed weren't the best, but the third one turned out pretty good.

love this video. I want to make yarn from jersey yardage; there is so much amazing fabric to use
Have fun!
At the moment I am currently in Garden City, Idaho in severe sciatic pain. So I am chilling on the sofa watching you.!
Fell better!
Love your hair, loved your Knitty Gritty show as well. Happy to find you on CZcams
You can also use the bias tube method to sew your fabric before you cut the strips - gives you yards of joined fabric "yarn" by sewing only one seam.
Thank you so much, exactly what I was looking for , for a weaving project I’m working on
Great! Be sure to tag me with your finished work! @vickiehowell

Thanks, Lala!
Hi I am in Northern Ireland enjoying your post
Braided rugs, it’s what comes to my mind
AwwwwwWow Vickie, I'm checking out your Vintage Phone that you have Beautified with Crochet. You Go Giiiiiiirl, I Love It
Thanks, Kim!
I'm crocheting rugs out of pot hold
When I was a kid made pot holders with these bands. If you slip them together you can make a fabric and crochet a nice rug.

Coming to you from sunny FL. I worked briefly on a baby blanket WIP.
Hi, I am living in Pittsview,Al.
Thank you for the fabulous creative ideas! 👍🏼❤️😍
Nice! Thank you. I like the Knit Collage yarn, but it's pretty pricey. This is a good alternative to that yarn.
Hey Vickie
It's Mindy here from GA and I'm working on preemie hats for Charity
I'm working on some baby/toddler circular crochet vest.
Coming to you from High Ridge Mo, I am working on a blanket for my granddaughter.

These methods are also great to make plarn (plastic bag yarn)
Love the join using the slit method will try it, what do you think of plarn yarn have you used it I haven't used it yet. Thank you for sharing and as always love, laughter and happy crafting.

And how to join the yarn so can be long?
I wonder if you can use the whipping method with tshirt yarn, if it's a big wider or more hefty.
hi from melbourne
Do you think it would be ok to join the pieces of fabric with fabritac instead?
