Weaving with T-Shirt Yarn

The idea came from here to use some old T-shirts instead of throwing them away:  T-Shirt Weaving .  Something to do with the grandchildren during break. 

A good way to link the strips together without sewing is found here: Making Fabric Into Yarn.

In this case the T-shirts were cut straight across:


The loom was made from a large piece of cardboard, and the warp threads from collected string and yarn. A ruler and yarn needle made the weaving faster.
 

The result was a small mat or rug.
