THE THREAD PROJECT; ONE WORLD, ONE CLOTH: Join thousands of people from around the world by sending a piece of ribbon, hemp, string, or other fiber to The Thread Project: One World, One Cloth. The collected threads are being tied into a long strand called the Unity Thread, which will be woven into seven world cloths. These cloths celebrate the boldness of our cultural diversity and the unity of our human hearts. Upon completion, these cloths will hang in nations throughout the world, reminding people that we are, ultimately, a global family of one. FOR INSTRUCTION AND ADDRESS: Thread Project Please be sure to read the instructions before sending any threads. See the latest Handwoven for an article/photo on this project!
