An UPcycled Tshirt Yarn Shrug « »
Here’s the final project that I have designed for my online Upcycled Thsirt Yarn Class:
I made mine using 4 XL tshirts that grade in color from a medium blue to black.
In class, we go step-by-step through cutting the Tshirts into yarn, dyeing our yarn, and then work through each of four knitting patterns together. There are several variations of the patterns, and they are all designed to be “gaugeless” so that you can knit any of them with any of the Tshirt yarn that you make.
The next round of this class starts on October 26, and signups are open now.
My students have been posting reviews of this class on the site:
From Judy:
This was my first on-line class experience, and so of course I
wondered how it would compare to attending “in-person” workshops or
classes. It has been a great experience! Anything Stefanie Japel
offers us is bound to be unique, cutting edge, and just plain fun!
There were live chats, videos, a question forum, free patterns
& loads of downloadable information. Plus, the sense of
comradeship and community was great. I feel like I’ve made some new
friends! I can’t wait to take more classes with Stefanie!

The UP-cycled T-shirt Class, taught by Stefanie Japel, includes far
more information than just recycling T-shirts into adorable knitted
garments. Stefanie is generous with information and ideas on dyeing
the “yarn” and goes in depth into color theory. The video
demonstrations are a delight to watch and very detailed. The class
includes 4 patterns and Stefanie gives detailed video instructions
that will launch any beginner knitter into knitting a lace pattern
and still tailor the garments to suit all the knitters in the
class. No matter what your level of experience is, there is
something for everyone in this class!
I expected to learn how to cut t-shirts, and make a couple of novel
knits. What I got was the best value I have had from any knitting
class.
Besides, the class was really FUN too!!
