In this Project I used a simple Spindle I made, but the spindle is not a necessarity if you have something else around which you can wrap the yarn.
For the Project you need:
A spindle or something else around which you can wrap the "yarn" (for example a stick, a pencil or a paintbrush)
scissors
Newspapers
The phases of my Project:
1) Cutting the newspaper into long strips. The width of the strips you can determine for yourself, but if the strips are close to each other in the width, the newspaper yarn becomes smoother.
2) Tie the first strip to the spindle / a stick (loosely, so as not to tear the paper).
3) Start rotating the strip in one direction. (Always in the same direction)
(If you have a spindle the strips go through the hook.)
4) A bit before the next strip ends, fold the beginning of the next strip into the ending of the previous one and mush them together.
5) Continue rotating .
What can one do with newspaper yarn?
You can for example glue it simply into a basket or an underlay.
