2017, Displayed: 72” x 35” (full: 269” x 52”), Yarn and tea

Ten knit strands of yarn dyed with teas from the top ten tea producing nations. The number of stitches in each strand is determined by the most recently reported thousands of tonnes of tea produced by each country. Ex: 1,467,000 tonnes of tea are produced annually in China, so the strand for this country is 1,467 stitches long and dyed in Dragon Well tea produced in Hangzhou, China.
