Charitable endeavors
In the winter of 2009 Heifer International, placed a challenge to the world to produce the longest scarf as a fund raiser, and to celebrate all of the natural fibers of the world. Here’s how Mary and a group of fiber aficionados from across the country created the longest scarf. The “Wild Fibers” Spring 2010 issue has a wonderful article about this project, and our Team, “Fabulous Fiber and Friends” are mentioned on Page 49.
