What thread is used?

T-shirt yarn, or T-shirt Yarn , is made from jersey cut into strips. We take an already prepared, already worked, already living fabric. Then we transform it. By cutting it, rolling it, transforming it into a flexible, dense, resistant cord. The result looks like a yarn, but it has a particular quality: it retains the memory of the textile. It retains a density, a softness, an elasticity that is not found in classic yarn.

Crocheting with t-shirt yarn is another world. The movement is heavier, more present. The stitch becomes stronger, more structured. The bag is not just an accessory: it becomes an object that asserts its presence. The original fabric is not fragile. It is already familiar, already domestic. And yet, once transformed, it gains a new elegance.

This material tells a story of transformation. It doesn't invent itself: it reinvents itself. From a piece of clothing, a material that has already lived, and its metamorphosis into something new. A bag. A durable piece. A silhouette.

At Oh My Maille , t-shirt yarn is not just a technical choice. It's a signature. It allows us to create bags that are like nothing else: dense, structured, with a unique presence. T-shirt yarn provides a solid, almost sculptural texture. And in a world where everything is standardized, this material asserts its difference.

T-shirt yarn is proof that a material can be both simple and sophisticated. It is at the crossroads of everyday life and design. It transforms a common material into an assertive object, which retains the warmth and familiarity of the fabric, while becoming a strong piece, built to last.
