Newspaper Yarn

I'm always searching for cool and new ways to recycle everyday objects, such as newspapers. I have now found an amazing solution to your stack of NYT: Newspaper Yarn! Greetje van Tiem is now famous for her “Indruk” project (she can purportedly spins 20yds of “yarn” from a sheet of old newspaper).

Newspaper yarn is very versatile and can be used for many things including curtains, rugs, even upholstery! Its strength may be slightly less that of yarn but when spun tightly and woven into something like a mat the newspaper yarn is a durable and functional structure.





So how can YOU make your very own Newspaper yarn? FIND OUT HERE!
