D.I.Y. yarn

In the current issue of Ready Made magazine, my friend Lily of Sunshine and Shadow made a crocheted tote out of D.I.Y. yarn from scraps of fabrics, and as you can see the result is beautiful. Wonder if Lily will make more of these days? The technique reminded me of Helle Jorgensen who has a tutorial on how to make yarn out of plastic bags. I would like to try making a tote bag out of plastic bag yarn, but look at what Helle has made with Sainsbury orange plastic bags yarn, and the chartreuse branches are made from Marks and Spencer plastic bags yarn.photos: ready made, gooseflesh
