Reviewers describe the yarn as chunky and substantial, and say it is soft to the touch. Another found it weaves easily with consistent thickness, which made rug making far simpler than cutting up old shirts.
Paintbox Yarns are thrilled to add this gorgeous Recycled T-Shirt yarn to their fabulous range, made from un-used and left over jersey fabric from European mills. Instead of being thrown away, the fabric is given another life as fabulous t-shirt yarn that you can use for knitting, crochet and macrame!
Perfect for all kinds of homeware and accessories, there are 18 different colour groups to choose from - from Caramel shades to Middle Blues and Bold Pinks - all of these shades are created by blending recycled fabric so the shades can vary within a batch. This is recycling at its very best - there is no extra processing and no re-dyeing - no wasted water, just a fabulous t-shirt yarn for you to re-use!
Please note this yarn is made from recycled jersey T shirt fabric, which causes variations in the yarn. The yarn may vary in width and texture. The shades within each colour vary, and our photo is representative of the range of colours the yarn comes in. We cannot guarantee which shade variation you will receive.

I made a bag and get many compliments
Quality is quite decent however the thickness of the yarn can alter. Would purchase again, especially when the yarn is on special offer
Great yarn to crochet a bag. I love the colour and the texture.
Although I liked the shade of pink I received due to the 5 pack I would of liked brighter shades of pink. As all one pale shade of pink and wasn't,t as bright as I would of hoped for
I like the fact that there were different shades of red in my 5 pack. Happy with quality
I find this quality of this yarn to be hard to work with due to the texture of the fabric. Its a very rough feeling yarn reminds me of a tennis ball fabric however love the shade. Would of liked different shades with a softer fabric
