DIY: T-Shirt Yarn Bracelet Making with Hibiscus Coast Zero Waste

Do you have old t-shirts that are no longer fit for purpose? Together with Hibiscus Coast Zero Waste, let's learn how to make t-shirt yarn and use it to make something new!

T-shirt yarn can be used for many things, like knitting and crochet. During our session, we will teach you how to turn it into a bracelet! Bring a friend and an old t-shirt.
