- There's a new yarn from Big Twist at Joann's...and it's T-Shirt yarn. How does it compare to the last T-Shirt yarn they sold in the Big Twist line? I'll show you how it compares to hoooked Zpagetti T-Shirt yarn ad show you the rug I made with it!

What’s your opinion: what would you use T Shirt yarn for?
Hi Shannon. Mary from Tucson here…. A couple of years ago I made a shoulder bag with tshirt yarn and I never use it because it is SO HEAVY! I still have some left over and have been meaning to make a basket with it. My 2024 goal is to use up all the yarn I no longer love, so this video is a reminder pull out that leftover tshirt yarn and get that basket made! 😊. Thanks for sharing your crochet love with us ❤
You’re welcome Mary and thank you for your kind words and support! I’m glad I helped jog your memory to use up that tshirt yarn!! 😃
I bought the taller skein of t-shirt farm to make a basket for my yarn. I made one a couple of years ago and I love it!!!
That’s awesome! It seems like basket making is the best use for it!
I'm kind of in the same boat as you with the tshirt yarn. Back when I first learned to crochet 12 or 10 years ago, it was new on the market, and I grabbed like 3 skeins from Hobby Lobby on clearance. The only thing I could think of to make with it was a rug, but I didnt really need one, so it has sat in my stash all this time and I only just remembered it because of this video lol.
That’s funny! You’ll have to let me know if you end up making a project with it!!! 😃
I’ve been making baskets using 8 and 9 mm hooks. I find it quite easy to work with in my experience, the new t-shirt yarn. I use quite a lot of tension to ensure my baskets are able to stand upright by themselves and I’m contemplating a rug or two for my bathroom. I wouldn’t advise it being used for wearables but baskets, rugs and pillows are more appropriate.
I totally agree with you Melissa! I think Tahiti yarn is great for home decor but don’t advise wearables either!!!
I would make bags, hats, baskets and rugs😮
All great ideas Rachel!!! 😃
Hi Shannon! Thank you for sharing! I have never used t-shirt yarn but I’d love to make a basket and a rug one day with it 🙂
Hey Jessie! I think you’d like it! Maybe a good cat basket……. Actually my cats favorite toy is a 6 foot length of tshirt yarn lol. It’s super springy 😹
@@ShannonTalksYarn Lol 😂
I tried it once. I was given a bag of yarn last year and I got some t shirt yarn. I made a bag with it. No l would not go out to get it.😊 I think if I were to get some l would make a rug with it. I would use single crochet since I like a tighter stitch with less holes. I think a half circle one would be cute.
A half circle would be cool!!! Yeah, I’m with you tho, I probably won’t be going out and buying anymore!! 😃
I just picked up the T-Shirt Yarn by Big Twist yesterday at Joann's. My plan was to make an infinity scarf, however once I started chroceting I could tell it would be way too thick for that. So I'll just make a cat mat instead. Interesting concept that Joann's came up with though for this yarn.
I think that’s a great use for it! My cat plays with a 6 ft. Length of t shirt yarn. It’s his favorite toy lol
I've not used T shirt yarn.. your pink cake colour is cute & it worked up nicely as an accent blanket ... maybe could make a pet blanket with it 🐕🤗🐈
Thank you! It’s definitely a different type of yarn to work with. You’ll have to let me know if you ever try it, I’d be curious what you think of it!
Never felt the need for it , and thanks to your great review I will not be tempted. I think I prefer stiffer baskets and hats.
Definitely stay away from it then, it’s not stiff at all! 😂
I got 4, made 2 cat beds so far. My fur babies love them and i still have about 1 1/2 “cake”
I think that’s such a good use for it!!!!
I've seen so many people make baskets with the new t-shirt yarn. It's made me want to try a basket myself.
I think home decor pieces are definitely the way to go with tshirt yarn!!!
Your edits are hilarious!😂 I'm thinking I'd make a floppy summer hat...maybe?
lol thanks!
I love a good floppy summer hat!!!! 👒
@@ShannonTalksYarn speaking of unusual yarns, didn’t you make a basket out of that meshy, netty novelty yarn?
@Lisbeth_59 I did! I want to say it was Red Heart Symphony…..but I can remember the exact name! And I’ve also made a blanket out of bernat casa yarn which is an odd yarn too 😃
Baskets are great for tshirt yarn also sun hats
I do love a good sun hat!!! 😃
Hi Shannon 🤗 I’d like to use t-shirt yarn to crochet a bag! 🥰🧶🤩
Hello my beautiful friend! Is this type of yarn popular there in Australia? I’m curious! 😃
@@ShannonTalksYarn Hi Shannon 🤗 I can’t buy this unless I go on line…so I’d guess, no it’s not popular here! 😏🥰🧶🤩
Well you’re not missing much my friend! 😂
Glad to know this is available, Shannon! A while back I purchased a pretty wooden laser-cut basket top and bottom that came with white t-shirt yarn to crochet into a basket. I'd much rather make it in something other than white... yay!
I’ve been so curious about those wooden tops and bottoms, will you keep me posted on how you liked it please? 😃
@@ShannonTalksYarn absolutely! 🩵
Thanks!
Thanks for reviewing that yarn! I have been wondering about the new Big Twist because I have a couple ideas for the Red, White, and Blue.
Creative Grandma is making baskets for Memorial Day and 4th of July.
I was wondering braiding for a rug rather than fabric scraps?
I bet it would be much softer on your hands and easier to work with!
That’s a good idea!
You’re very welcome!!! 😃
I’ve always wanted to try this type of yarn but it’s so expensive that I want to have the right project picked out first and I’ve just not been able to find something.
I think you're smart Meagan for not jumping into it without a project!
i have got a really small ball of this kind of yarn and i have used it to weave on a plastic canvas and make a bag. it is as stretchy as yours is but i think it will turn out great. i am really curious how it would look knit :0
I think the plastic canvas is a great idea!!! I think it will give you the structure that the yarn is missing!
I've only seen Zpaghetti used for baskets and rugs. I don't think it's conducive to wearables
I’d have to agree! It’s just to heavy and stretchy! 😃
I’ve made baskets and bags with it. I agree that it’s very heavy for garments or other wearable items. I don’t like working with it. It hurts my hands after a while.
It doesn’t seem like it would be, but it really is!! I’m glad you’re had good experiences with other things! 😃
Hi Shannon! I have never tried t-shirt yarn but maybe for a basket 🤷🏻♀️
Hello!! It would work great for that! 😃
Hi Shannon ❤ glad you are presenting this I was just thinking about trying it, have you ever tried making your own with tshirts ? I like them for plant covers, coasters and I’m trying to make sourdough mason jar covers .
I'd make a little bag with it
I have definitely thought about it but never tried it!! I also thought about looking at thrift stores for jersey bedsheets for a larger amount.
Those are great ideas!
I've not used t-shirt yarn. If I were to, I would likely only make rugs.
That was the most I could figure out too!! 😃
T shirt yarn is my mortal enemy haha. I hated working with the Lion Brand line of t shirt yarn for amigurumi but I bet it would be good for making baskets or rugs.
Hahaha!!! So I shouldn’t look for it in an upcoming “Will it Ami” video from you!?!?!? 😂😂😂
...or basket
I think that would be great! 😃
