More Tshirt Yarn projects and a video how-to « »

So we are well into week 2 of tshirt yarn class, and I’m really making a lot of projects!

Here’s a scarf that I knit, using a length of organic bamboo fabric that I cut into yarn. I overdyed it in tea! The tea stained the scarf in a really interesting way, and toned down the baby pink.

I also dyed this light pink yarn with tea:

Here’s what it looked like fresh out of the dye bath:

It was light pink to begin with, and the tea added those darker tan spots. I can’t wait to see how this knits up!

Here’s a little video on how to use tea or coffee to dye things:
