Having made many appearances over the years, the Thame Giant Scarf now has a permanent home at Thame Museum \u2013 as featured on their website as \u2018Object of the month\u2019 in August 2021<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.thame.net\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Thame-giant-scarf-now-at-thame-museum.jpg” title_text=”Thame giant scarf now at thame museum” _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.thame.net\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Thame-giant-scarf-arrives-at-thame-museum..jpg” title_text=”Thame giant scarf arrives at thame museum.” _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”8px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Why does Thame have a giant knitted scarf?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The history of the Thame giant scarf began in November 2004. The people of Thame were invited to contribute to knitting a giant scarf in preparation for that year\u2019s Big Thame Christmas event, with the theme \u2018Winter\u2019. During the event, Robin Gibb, who lived in Thame, was scheduled to be the guest celebrity and turn on the town\u2019s Christmas lights.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.thame.net\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/xmas-scarf_enlarged_window.jpg” title_text=”xmas scarf_enlarged_window” _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”|0px||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

The excited crowd had gathered outside Thame Town Hall eagerly awaiting the arrival of their favourite Bee Gee to arrive and push the plunger and illuminate the town\u2019s Christmas lights. The Mayor of Thame at the time, David Laver, and \u2018Father Christmas\u2019 (aka Cllr Don Butler) manfully kept the crowd from going home with some very questionable jokes, and passing on updates arriving regularly by phone from Robin\u2019s car travelling Thame-ward on the M40. Robin was running an hour late after a TV interview with Richard and Judy!<\/p>\n

During this night, the giant scarf was hung outside from windows in what was then Austin\u2019s Gentlemen\u2019s Outfitters for all to see. <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Destined to stay in Thame<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The plan was to auction the scarf after the event to raise money for charity. Unfortunately, although someone did win the bidding for the giant scarf on ebay, it turned out that he was a wool merchant from the US and didn\u2019t realise that the amount he had agreed to pay was in pounds and not dollars, and he pulled out! But fortunately we got to keep the scarf for future events and to be part of Thames history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.thame.net\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/boris_scarf_dodds.jpg” title_text=”boris_scarf_dodds” _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

The scarfs next public appearance was on February 18th, 2005, when Boris Johnson, Thame\u2019s Member of Parliament at the time, visited the town to officially open the refurbished Shaw Trust Charity shop in the High Street. From there he moved on down to Thame Town Hall to help Thame Chamber of Commerce and the Mayor, Cllr David Dodds, publicise a second attempt to auction the scarf on Ebay. Boris gamely donned Thame\u2019s Giant scarf, which at 500ft went five times around a DAF truck!<\/p>\n

For a second time, the scarf did not find a new home \u2013 it was destined to stay in Thame. Until now, the scarf has been in hibernation at the home of the previous owner of Thame.net and instigator of the Giant scarf project \u2013 Sonja Francis.\u00a0<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Sonja is now retiring and leaving Thame for pastures new and has donated this unique curiosity to Thame Museum to be admired and wondered at by future generations of knitters, and visitors to the town, a snapshot of the life and history of our very special town.<\/span><\/p>\n
