The T-shirt can be easily turned into knitted yarn, which is later used for weaving or knitting a variety of products. Knitted yarns make delicious rugs.

To create yarn, cut the T-shirt into ribbons that are one to one and a half centimeters wide. You don't need to draw straight lines as the yarn does not need to be the same lengthwise.

A convenient way to cut long strips is to cut in a spiral. Next, the resulting ribbons should be carefully wound into skeins, while the yarn does not need to be pulled together.

If there are short pieces of tape left, then you can connect them. To do this, you need to make one small hole at each end of the tape. The first ribbon should be passed through the hole in the second ribbon. The other end of the second tape must be inserted into the hole in the first tape and the yarn pulled through it.

• The finished pigtail must be twisted in a spiral to form a circle. To fix the product, you should immediately sew it in a spiral, using a "zigzag" seam. If it is not possible to use a machine, then you can manually sew with blind stitches;
• The size of the rug will depend on the length of the braids.
