Anyone interested in textile raw materials and textiles will find some interesting insights into Franconian textile production in the past and can help weave the longest scarf. It's in the Book of Records.

On June 25, 1997, the town of Helmbrechts began weaving a scarf. It was to be the longest handwoven scarf in the world.
(…)
The longest scarf in the world is 35 cm wide. The warp consists of 256 adjacent threads. Six wefts make a scarf of one centimeter, and 600 wefts make one meter. It takes an inexperienced weaver about an hour. The youngest participant was one year and 10 months old, the oldest 89 years old. The weaver who lived furthest away came from Sydney, Australia.
