Hooked Zpagetti Yarn

I received the Zpagetti t-shirt yarn free from Hoooked at the Creativation conference in 2019. The color I used for my crochet hot pad is called Taffy Pink, but they have a whole range of pretty pinks and corals to choose from.

I learned at Creativation that Hoooked Zpagetti yarn is environmentally friendly. Textile manufacturing creates an incredible amount of waste from selvages and cuttings. Hoooked recycles this textile waste into fabulous yarn!

If you’ve never worked with t-shirt yarn before, you’re missing out. It’s soft, surprisingly stretchy, and creates a dense, squishy fabric. Because it’s so thick, it works best with simple stitches and makes large projects really fast. I haven’t tried knitting with it yet, but I think I may need to sometime soon.

Global Backyard Industries Crochet Hook

Of course, an extra-large yarn needs an extra-large hook! I got this hook from Global Backyard Industries long ago, when I did a pattern for their t-shirt yarn kits, and it worked perfectly for this crochet hot pad!
