Learn how to crochet with just your fingers and leave your mark on this community built installation. Upon completion we expect this collaborative installation to mitigate, and reroute, more than 250 pounds of textile and material waste. 

WE ARE PRE-COLLECTING YOUR DISCARDED TEXTILES - lightweight fabrics preferred but all types will be accepted. We are only accepting textiles that are these colors, or very much like these colors.
