Attention fiber enthusiasts! To celebrate the United Nations 2009 International Year of Natural Fibers, Keep the Fleece (www.keepthefleece.org) was created to raise awareness for and share knowledge, skills, resources and products about the world of natural fibers.Events, competitions for fiber artisans, and fund-raising programs—including the World's Longest Scarf—have been developed and are open to people of all ages, nationalities and skills. Details and a podcast interview with Linda Cortright, the founder of the organization, is on their website. For anyone interested in participating in or starting a Chattanooga-area World's Longest Scarf team, send an e-mail to the Riverbend Fiber Arts Guild at RBfiberarts@gmail.com.
