This is a very handy project to have on hand. You can do so much with t-shirt yarn - rugs, blankets, and more. Unfortunately, the link is not working. There is an issue with the DNS address. Hopefully it comes back online soon. I would love to see the project instructions.

Ive never done something like this before, but I think its quite interesting to try. I saw some nice projects that use yarn t-shirt like this. So its nice to find a how-to that teach me how to make the yarn. I have some old t-shirts that could be great for this project.

When I tried this, I ended up with little bits of T-shirt everywhere while cutting. The strip of material curled as described, but the cut edge sometimes showed and didn't look as nice as the photo. It was fun and I would use the resulting yarn for a rug, but not for anything I wanted to wear.
