Yarn bombing, also known as yarn graffiti, is a form of street art where knitted or crocheted pieces are placed on public structures or objects. This creative and often whimsical form of self-expression adds color and personality to otherwise bland and ordinary spaces.
Yarn bombing projects often involve a group of individuals coming together to create pieces and install them in public spaces. This encourages collaboration and community involvement, making it not just an act of art, but also a way to bond with others.
