What Is T-Shirt Yarn?

T-shirt yarn (also known colloquially as jersey yarn, T-yarn and tarn) is a form of chunky yarn that’s made from recycled textiles that would otherwise be discarded from factories. The yarn we sell is sourced from various suppliers in Europe, including top names like Tek-Tek, Hoooked and Bobbiny. Due to its nature, the colour and patterns of available yarn depends on the fashion tastes at any one time, and knots and other imperfections can be found due to the yarn’s up-cycled nature.

You’ll love using t-shirt yarn as it’s soft, thick and easy to use, and can be used to create a wide range of things from decorations to clothes and mats.
