The Longest Yarn would not have happened without its army of supporters.  The crafters who embraced the idea from the first Facebook call, their partners getting involved helping with research, construction, patience, coffee, tea and biscuits.

Those who joined later and delivered thousands of poppies to create cascades

Volunteers who help with moving the exhibition, spend hours in venues talking to visitors

The crafters who continue to create mementos, keepsakes to be sold on our stands

Those who are a constant presence:  Jeannette, Sarah

Debbie, Carole, Jo, Jenny looking after our shops and auctions

Russell our printer, George and his team 

We also owe so much to the storytellers who share the legacy of The Longest Yarn. Whether through interviews, articles, or social media posts, they help spread the magic behind the mission, connecting us with wider audiences and ensuring the story continues to inspire others. Their words breathe life into the project and preserve its spirit for years to come.

The Longest Yarn is a community that spreads around the world and inspires

We can't name them all, but we are indebted to them all for the success of this exhibition

All our creators, who come from all walks of life and age groups, have supplied their own wool, time and creativity along with paying for postage etc. to get their work here to Normandy. So far we have managed to have pledged free Van Passage on Brittany Ferries to bring all the panels over in April, the boxes have been donated and warehouse space was given to us to house the flat packed boxes.

We now need to work out how to get all the boxes with the completed panels back to one place, loaded up and brought across the Channel! The ones from USA are being brought by the creators as they want to come to Normandy!

To display the completed work, because of sheer volume of visitors to the area over 6th June weeks, we need to protect it and get Perspex covering made, the other need for covering apart from dust & grime … it’s very tactile - everyone wants to touch it!

Yes!
