I dyed t-shirts to make this yarn and have been using it to crochet rugs. It is the perfect rug yarn!
Thick enough that the rug has substance, but still pliable and easy to work with. This particular batch (and the resulting rug) was chartreuse, navy blue and a dark pink/salmon color. I also used a grey t-shirt in the middle to break things up a bit. The rug pictured above measures 20" across and would be perfect next to a bed or in front of a dresser.

you amaze me with your creativity and talent!
i would love a custom rug... i need one for my living room under my coffee table... i'll talk to the hus to see if it's in the budget and then i'll email you if it is.
great job katherine!
the rug is gorgeous!
Um, I've been saving old t-shirts for this very project and now that you've reminded me how beautiful they turn out, I need to fit it in somewhere this week. p.s. Do you use a huge hook or your fingers?
Can you tell I haven't really done my homework on this yet? ;)
I love the color coordination. I've been making t-shirt yarn but nothing has come out of them yet. They do not coordinate... Anyways, nice work!
XOXO
This is so pretty!

You're lucky i hadn't seen all this yet or i would have been bugging you incessantly the day we ran around together. looking forward to hanging again next time geneva is in town... xox geneva's friend aimee!!
This is such a clever idea! A great way of recycling :)
this so pretty. growing up we had a rug like this in every room. i remember they covered almost the whole floor. now that I look back my mom probably wanted to hide the shag carpet in our trailer! my brother's was green, & it was our "field" for our tractors. my mom even made me one in my sorority colors for college. thanks for the memories. I probably need one in my new house!
very cute, love the idea! i'm gonna get right on it!
