Tying teabag strings for scarves.

I received another parcel in the mail from Cindy. Thankyou so much. Wish I knew who you were. Cindy sent a whole bag of strings with tags removed.

I have been busy tying teabag strings ready to make a few more scarves.

 It takes me about a week to tie enough strings to make a ball that weighs 45grams. 

Here I have 2  balls tied and rolled.

This is enough for 2 scarves. Using 4.5mm (size 7) needles 40 sts and about 2metres (6’6” long)

This is how I store them ready for knitting. Then I gift the scarf in the washing bag.

Welcome 2025 and my first finish.

I relaxed on the first day of the new year and knitted.

I finished my teabag scarf. In the gift box it goes.

I love the colours that are spread through the stitches.

This one I used 45g of strings.

It measures 2 metres long.

40 sts

Knit every row

Use no. 7 (4.5 mm) needles

Keeping busy in hospital visiting hours

 So, while sitting beside my husband's bedside I have been busy tying teabag strings together and knitting.

I have finished one scarf.

And started tying and rolling for the next one. I am tying enough to weigh 45 grams to allow for different size strings, more knots and different thicknesses. This should be plenty.

One scarf is 180 cms long.

40sts knitted on no. 4.5 mm (old no.7’s) needles.

40 grams of yarn/tea bag threads.
