My friend is making these beautiful scarves.
She has run out of strings.
Each one takes about 4.000. - 6,000 strings.
They use your everyday tea bag strings.
Make a cup of tea, with a bag.
Break off the string, put into a bag, throw the tea leaf bag away, send the bag/tag to me.....
It is hard to get so many strings to knit.
I really need your help.
The tags go to charity to supply equipment. These would normally go into the rubbish.
Put a bowl on your bench, collect the strings/tags, send them to me.
THEY WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE...
Contact me for my address to post the strings.

That scarf is so cool...I've never seen anything like it. Unfortunately I don't drink tea.
Will, do Jo when I get home, I use the tea bag paper and will keep you the strings.
No tea at my house either...besides...I all far away. Wish I could help.
Bowl out ready to gather. A lady down this way makes scarves the same as this, the look amazing.
Will save the strings Jo, wonder how many I'll have by July ???
Snap! Rosie is doing this same project. Knitting the strings and saving the tags. Unfortunately we don't use tea bags in this house. Looks so good.
What a clever idea. I can save mine but as I am the only tea drinker in the house, it will take ages to save enough to send you, pity I didn´t know before we closed our cafe.
I'll save mine for you.
Hi Jo, I have thousands of tea bag strings and am looking for a home for them to be recycled! I see your blog is from 2019; are you (or your friend) still collecting them? I'm happy to post. Regards, Cindy
