I've been dying to get my hands on some tshirt yarn, specifically Zpagetti, but it isn't sold in the US and the website doesn't ship here either. So after a Google hunt, I found Noodles made by Sullivan's. I love the way it feels, and it's stretchiness. But the skeins of yarn that I got were only 30 yards. The photo was misleading. So I wasn't able to even start making the rug that I had in mind because once I got to round 3 of the circle, the grey was finished.
But now I know what to expect and I'll have to save up a chunk of change if I wanna buy enough for to make a rug. $7 for 30 yards is unacceptable and is not a good deal to me. But I'm going to keep my eyes open for some cheap jersey knit bed sheets and I'll just make my own yarn that way.
Anyways, I didn't use a pattern for this basket. Just made it up as I went (and until I ran out of yarn). It's about 6 inches across, 7 inches high. And I used a 10mm hook. The finished basket is pretty heavy. I like that though.
It's so cute!! I love the bow at the front too :)
ReplyDeleteWow that is really expensive, but the basket is really cute. I've actually been making a rug from Tshirt yarn the last few weeks, but I just cut up some old Tshirts and it's kind of messy.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDelete$7 is a lot! Your basket looks awesome, I really like the colors
ReplyDeleteI really also want to try T-shirt yarn! Hopefully soon! But YIKES that is expensive.
ReplyDeleteThat's super cute!
ReplyDeleteyea idk if they sent me the wrong size or what. it's just nuts. i won't be buying it again :(
ReplyDeleteLove the colors! I've been wanting to try out tshirt yarn as well but everything I find is just too darn expensive.
ReplyDeletei know, it sucks doesn't it? it's so fun to work with too.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, I didn't realize tshirt yarn was so expensive to purchase. I guess this is why I have always just made my own. Love your basket...this is also on my list!
ReplyDeleteI saw a youtuber using Fettucini Yarn by LionBrand,I don't know the price but it is quite similar to this, I had the idea of doing a moses basket with this tipe of t-shirt thing yarn, what do you think?
ReplyDelete(PS: the Youtuber is Audra Kurtz if you wanna check.)
I say go for it!
ReplyDeleteI could be reading this wrong but all 30 yards was only $7.00? At Wal-Mart they sell the Fettuccini yarn for $6.97 and it's not even a full 5 yards. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding what you are saying, I'm really wanting to try Tshirt yarn & also want to find not only the best price but also my best option for my projects :)
ReplyDeletei can't remember the specifics as i ordered this yarn a long time ago, but i believe it was on sale. otherwise i would never buy tshirt yarn. it's so expensive!
