Team Fiber Twist will take donations for each row that is knit, crochet, woven or felted and make the scarf based on those donations. We will assemble the pieces of our team’s scarf at the Fiber Twist Our scarf will then go on to the New York Sheep and Wool Festival to we joined with other scarf sections from around the world.
