Shhh, don’t tell anyone 🤫
Turns out spaghetti yarn was a good idea.
I tried t-shirt yarn for my Sonoma Bag and now I understand the obsession. The texture, the chunky stitches, how quickly it works up… so satisfying.
This pale yellow color feels like butter, sunshine, and summer mornings all at once ☀️

Crochet enthusiasts often overlook the versatility and unique texture that Spaghetti yarn, also known as t-shirt yarn, brings to their projects. From my own experience, using spaghetti yarn for an accessory like the Sonoma Bag offers more than just aesthetic appeal—it truly transforms the crafting process. This type of yarn, made from recycled fabric strips, is thicker and chunkier than traditional yarns, making it perfect for those who enjoy quick and tactile crafting. The bulky stitches not only create a durable and sturdy structure for bags but also add a beautiful visual and tactile dimension that feels both modern and cozy. I found that working with the pale yellow spaghetti yarn felt like holding a slice of summer—its warm buttery shade brings cheer and sunshine to any project. This color choice is especially delightful in spring and summer collections, matching well with casual warm-weather outfits. Another reason for my growing obsession is the speed at which the yarn works up. Projects are completed faster due to the thickness of the yarn, providing a satisfying sense of accomplishment in less time than with finer yarns. This makes spaghetti yarn an excellent choice for both beginners eager to finish a project quickly and seasoned crafters seeking a fun, relaxing challenge. Planning my next bag already, I am excited to explore how varying stitch patterns can enhance the texture and functionality of each piece. For those considering spaghetti yarn, I recommend experimenting with different hook sizes to find the perfect tension and firmness for your project. Additionally, because the yarn is fabric-based, it’s generally more durable and washable than some fiber yarns, which is a huge plus for functional accessories such as handbags. Ultimately, spaghetti yarn is not just a trend but a practical, sustainable option that yields fashionable results. Whether you’re crafting a statement shoulder bag or a compact mini bag, incorporating this material can elevate your crochet repertoire and provide endless crafting satisfaction.
