tarn rug..again!

having accumulated another stash of grotty t shirts..i decided to make another tarn rug, for those who don't know, tarn is t shirts cut into fabric! You can also use tights (pantyhose) , jeans , called jarn..anything really. I prefer the spiral method of cutting , something quiet cathartic about snipping it up to be honest, at the moment I've run out of stuff to add, but I've done another 3 rounds more after this picture, I'm hoping to have one big enough for the new attic room.
