Actually, old t shirts are also great to cut into a continuous strip yarn.. and you can make all sorts of things from them.. including baskets, rugs, bags. Or cut into a continuous yarn, ball the yarn up, and donate to art teachers or camps for projects. Cut old jeans into squares and donate to a quilting guild. And some knitters these days are trawling thrift shops for sweaters to deconstruct into yarn, overdye and reuse.
Sadelle.. who has done most of the above, and just last night deconstructed a sweater to harvest its yarn. ;-)
