Tarn is yarn made from a recycled T shirt. it is cut so it make a continuous piece of thick curled yarn.
It is very easy to make your own Tarn for crochet projects.
1. Select a T shirt with no printed pattern on it, and a T shirt without seams at the sides is preferable.
2. Lay out your shirt.
3. Cut straight across the T shirt from under arm pit to under arm pit and cut off the bottom seam.
4. Fold shirt from side (uncut sides together) to side leaving about a half an inch of a single layer exposed.
5. Cut 2cm thick strips (or thicker) straight up the T shirt, leaving about a 1cm uncut on one side.
6. Now open the shirt up so that the uncut section is visible, start cutting diagonally across uncut section to make your Tarn into a continuous piece.
7. Now give your fabric strips a little bit of a tug with both hands, to make it curl into a loop, ball it all up, and you have Tarn!!!
