Now as for buying the yarn, you have options! Here’s what we’ve uncovered:
For instance, you can click here to buy Lion Brand Fettuccini Zpagetti Yarn at Amazon (paid link). It’s pictured above and is tailor made for this project.
The yarn is genuinely made of repurposed textiles and is a one-of-a kind. As the company explains, they can’t give you a requested color; you’ll be purchasing a random color. That’s what’s led to somewhat less than stellar reviews at Amazon.com (paid link).
Yes, this might very well be the deal breaker for you, understandably. After all you want a blue basket not a taxi yellow basket, let’s say!
But all is not lost. You can get a close approximate; it’s Interway Trading’s version of Zpagetti (pictured above) for sale at Amazon (paid link). It’s available in many beautiful colors that you yourself can pick. How cool is that?!
And not least, you can make your own T-shirt or fabric yarn (check out a great tutorial here).
