As you may recall, I have been slowly learning to crochet. Recently I decided to crochet a rag rug.
I have loads of old, worn or holed cotton tee shirts, which are no good for charity donation, so I keep for making rags. I had a look and sorted out some in bright colours to make into cotton yarn
I cut strips about an inch wide and tied them together.
because the fabric is 100% cotton all the trimmings can go in the compost!
And then I started to crochet... using a 15 mm crochet hook
As you can see, it is going to be a good sized rug! It keeps me occupied during these dull wet days where I can't do much in the garden.
I will keep you all posted as to how I get on :-)

That's looking good so far! Did not ever think about composting cotton - good tip!
