T-Shirt Yarn Cluster Bracelet
The yarn for this bracelet is made from a T-Shirt cut into one long continuous ½” strip. For a tutorial on this please visit www.kits-crafts.com under the crochet tab. Just a couple of notes about tarn; not all tarns are made equal (obviously) and the type of T-Shirt you use can greatly affect the outcome of your bracelet. I originally made this using a thinner shirt that was 60% cotton and 40% synthetic. Generally, I have found that the pure cotton tarns stretch and will give you a greater quantity, but are also harder to work with. That being said, if you are using a typical, run of the mill, 100% cotton T-Shirt, go down a size and use a G hook. This may still be tough, if you go up another size hook, go down another size for the bracelet. Also, practice a bit to get the hang of the tarn if you have never used it before.
