Why T-Shirt Yarn?
This bag is designed specifically for t-shirt yarn, a recycled by-product of the fashion industry.
Using t-shirt yarn means:
-
You’re repurposing textile waste into a handmade item
-
You’re contributing to slow fashion principles
-
You’re creating a durable, unique accessory
Because t-shirt yarn is made from surplus fabric, no two cones are identical. Variations in thickness, stretch, and colour are natural characteristics of the material.
This means:
- Every bag you make will be unique
- The final look will vary slightly depending on your yarn
- Subtle differences are part of the charm
By choosing t-shirt yarn, you are creating a sustainable, slow-fashion piece that cannot be mass-replicated.
