Fiber Fool » How to Use a Nostepinne.

Clever Nesting » Recycle Fabric Into Yarn Tutorial. I recently did some spring cleaning and even had a yard sale. With everything that didn’t sell I’m wondering what can be repurposed and what needs donated. I decided to salvage some old sheets & made them into yarn for knitting & crochet projects. And I have a recycled yarn pillow in the works. For this technique, you’ll be making one single strand of yarn from your sheet. Here are the instructions. Materials: a clean sheet, any size (can be fitted or not; I used a twin size fitted sheet) sharp scissors knitting needles or crochet hooks (optional for checking “gauge” of your yarn) Directions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
