    Yarnbombing Art

    Yarnbombing is something like knitted graffiti. Artists knit colorful objects and decorate urban spaces with them. This type of art was born in Texas (USA) and with time it has found recognition all over the world.

    Wireworks in motion

    In Scotland (the town of Selkirk) there is a group called Souter Stormers. Its members meet regularly to knit and crochet together. They present their works at art festivals and decorate city trees, benches, telephone boxes, monuments, poles or bicycles with them. Among this group, as recently as 2015, was Grace Brett. It wouldn't be surprising if it weren't for the fact that the woman was 104 years old at the time and still bravely bombarding the Scottish town of Selkirk with yarn.

    Check out the selected works of artists, from all over the world, that are part of yarnbombing

    #1 Hands on a Trunk

    Installation of two of the new NCIE tree yarnbombs, the Hands of Harmony tree and Leaf tree. The third Meeting Place mandala tree yarnbomb didn't fit due to the trees having grown so much in the last year, despite Jane having included room for overlap, and will have to be fixed up and put up another time.
