What is Yarn Bombing?
Yarn Bombing, which is sometimes known as ‘knitfiti’, is a form of street art where yarn that is knit, crochet, or wrapped, adorns an object in a public space. It is thought to have originated in the United States in 2005.
By coming together to Yarn Bomb objects in as many cities and countries as possible in June, we strive to foster connections and unite a community with individuals, service and advocacy groups in the field, DeafbIind International members and partners, and the wider global public.
Yarn bombing is suitable for all ages and all experience levels, from new knitters to experienced stitchers!
There are many ways you can get involved!
- Creating pieces made from yarn
