On D-Day’s 80th anniversary, volunteers knit for victory with ‘The Longest Yarn’ The 3D tapestry – 80 panels stretching 80 meters – depicts scenes from D-Day and was completed by over 1,000 volunteers from the U.K., the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand.

"Ms. Forster enlisted over 1,000 knitters via Facebook from the U.K., the United States, Australia, and New Zealand to complete the 3D tapestry. The result is 80 meters (88 yards) of 80 3D panels of knitted and crocheted scenes of the D-Day invasion." #knitting #knithistory #DDay80 #TheLongestYarn
