More than 1,100 balls of wool were used to knit a scarf that measures twice the length of the Eiffel tower.
The 850 metre long red and yellow scarf was knitted by 240 Peace Hospice supporters in the colours of Watford Football Club.
The team of knitters began working on the scarf in December 2006 as a fundraising project, which has so far raised in excess of £16,000 for the Hospice, in Peace Drive, Watford.

It will now be divided into blanked and sent to Romania, via the development and relief agency ADRA.
Community Fundraising Manager Gill Crowson said: "This has been a fantastic project. We recently wrapped the scarf around the Hospice, which looked spectacular. I would like to thank all our knitters who generously put hours of work into making the scarf."
