Repurposing Teabag Strings
By Mary Kean
Mary decided to repurpose teabag strings rather than throw them out. Over a six year period, Mary collected strings from family and friends and using garter stitch, made two scarfs. The first scarf took 5,365 strings to make and the second 12,560 strings. The knots from tying the strings together and the tea stains on the strings add interest to the scarfs.
