Spin a Yarn, Weave a Life Spin a Yarn, Weave a Life is an experiential and visual manifestation of the kinship between stories, fabric, and the human spirit.

Spin a Yarn, Weave a Life started as a collaboration between artists Cheyenne McCarter and Catherine Tutter as a way to integrate their work with the elderly. Catherine's knowledge about an ancient Japanese fiber art process was joined with Cheyenne's experience as a professional geriatric social worker. Their partnership resulted in a unique project that transformed the life stories of five elders into fabric. The project is currently entering an outreach and dissemination phase in order that the process and instructional methods can be shared with a matrix of groups and individuals, including artists, caregivers, healthcare professionals, survivors of trauma and life-threatening illness, and elders.
