I make mine from upcycled cashmere. If the sweater cuff is still in good condition, I cut it off (using a wavy rotary cutter) to about six inches long (from my bottom middle finger joint to below my wrist joint). Then I zigzag the cut edge.
I did this last week with an old men's sweater that had holes in one elbow. Then I hemmed the shortened sleeves and put it in the charity bag. (I have already taken two garments out of it!).
Or I cut rectangles, sew one side together, and hem the other two (or treat as above). Old cashmere is usually slightly matted, so doesn't fray easily.
