Finished 60cm by 100cm lengths can be brought to the festival on June 14 and 15 or people can contribute to pieces that will be knitted at the festival. Threads, a group who knit and crochet together, are using wool that belonged to their late friend Cathy Bell.

The scarf will be used as part of a protest against nuclear weapons.
