In Memory of Iqbal Masih

1983 - 1995 || =Weaving the Colours of Respect ...= Unravel a warp, a weft, a shed and a shot from a sett, a header, a tabby and a selvedge. Learn to bubble, to beat and to tie a ghiordes - get weaving the Colours of Respect.. Each coloured ribbon represents a human right. The ribbon knots are tied amongst knots of twine and held in place by 2 rows of twine weft. The rug is a symbol of all the human rights denied to the children forced to work in carpet factories in Pakistan. The rug will hang in The Allen Centre in memory of child hero Iqbal Masih (see the link below). ||
