An Eco-Friendly Crocheter can Crochet with These

Have you ever given a thought on what are the other things that can be used for crochet?? Yes, there are quite a few of them and today we will see what are the other things that an eco-friendly crocheter can use apart from your normal cotton, acrylic, wool or any other fancy yarn. there are so many different shops selling so many yarns, different brands, different shops selling something or the other. Blanket yarn, Mandala Yarn and who can forget Carron cakes. Yes most of us have used these, but there are other things you can use for crochet and make the environment and this earth a better place to live in. Let us see exactly what are we talking about.

2. Used T-shirts: These are the things we have the most. Some torn, some faded, some are short, some have become tight. So what do we do with these? Most of us just toss it in the bin. Yes of course donating is a lovely option but what if we can make something useful out of it using our crochet skills. Yes, you can use these by cutting them into a long continuous strip, give a little stretch and roll it into a ball. Nowadays some shops sell them as T-shirt Yarn. You can always use up your own for making a rug or a mat rather than it ending in a landfill.

2. Hemp/ Jute role: Different names different purposes and also different textures. This is one of the best things used for crochet other than some fancy yarn. These are strong and sturdy. Many things can be made from these. Rugs, Mats, bags. These are durable and stay the same for quite a long time. So next time you see one of these try and think what you can make from these. This can be a task for an eco-friendly crocheter if it is too thick.

2. Used Bedsheets: Yes we all use them, and wash, and use, and wash and the cycle goes on and one fine day we feel it is now old and used and torn and faded. We want something new. So, what do you do with the old ones? Yes,  cut these into strips and use them to crochet :) The thickness of the strips depends on with what you are comfortable. Just make the most of it and make something colourful. Maybe a playing mat for kids :)
