A word of warning, it doesn't seem to be very machine washable, mine fell apart when I washed it, I maybe knitted it too loose?<br /><br />I cut the jeans into strips about half an inch wide. thinner and it frays and breaks, thicker and it is too hard to work with. I used size 15 (american) needles. I also discovered it was best to overlap the strips for about 10 stitches instead of tying knots when joining the "yarn". Knots tended to come apart and also made big nasty bumps in the finished rug.<br /><br />Good luck!!Anne Hambrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850449473081001818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517183366357019253.post-90765921353245929042012-07-30T07:37:01.397-05:002012-07-30T07:37:01.397-05:00I am very inspired by your jeans rug.

I have now gathered all the old jeans together and started cutting out the fabric, but I have one question for you, how thick did you cut the pieces of denim to make the yarn?elisecathrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11881443740361656660noreply@blogger.com
