Cool. Now, that sounds tremendously useful. And cathartic besides.
I've never seen somebody unravel a cotton shirt. Maybe I'll give it a shot.
What do you do about the portions with silk-screening on them? Does it get hand-scraped off the yarn?
Without trying it yet, it seems to me that you'd end up with hundreds of 2-meter long pieces of yarn, with cuts at each seam. What do you do about the stitches? Use a seam-ripper on them?
