Cambodians aim to weave 1,000-meter-long scarf in world record attempt
Cambodians have launched a campaign to claim the Guinness World Records for weaving the world's longest scarf.
Visitors on Saturday took part in the weaving process by adding a few strands of thread into Krama, a traditional Cambodian scarf, to help it reach 1,000 meters.
Volunteers, who are expert weavers, have started making the long garment since it was launched on February 14. The campaign aimed to raise awareness about the tradition of weaving, the importance of Krama, as well as motivating the people to be united to break the world record, the organizer said.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen spoke to garment workers on Wednesday to encourage them to help in the process, as about 20 weaving communities are set up across the country to contribute to the length. There is no end date set for the completion of Krama.
Krama is a traditional garment that Cambodians use daily as a headgear to shield from the sun, to use while bathing, or just as a scarf or clothing.
