Because the beloved t-shirt has uses beyond its time in our wardrobe, Amanda Robinette will teach three different ways to create yarn from upcycled T-shirts in this 90 minute workshop.  How can a crafter choose which method? It depends on the craft (crochet?  weaving? basket-making?), the intended use of the finished object, the tools at hand to make the yarn, and the crafter’s creative choices.  Have fun and learn all of the tips and tricks to easily upcycle this wardrobe staple.  

Amanda Robinette has woven for decades, both professionally and for joy; she also teaches tai chi for weavers. She is particularly fascinated by a Japanese form of rag weaving called Sakiori, which creates beautiful fabric out of rags, and calls her version of this historical craft “Western Sakiori.”
