Yarn Bombing: The Women’s Street Art

This month’s missive is a little more whimsical than last month’s. Yarn Bombing. What is it? It is a form of urban street art akin to graffiti without the spray can. Yarn Bombs can be knitted, crocheted, latch hooked, cross stitched, or any other method of turning yarn into a piece of temporary public art. Other names for yarn bombing are graffiti knitting, guerilla knitting, and yarn storming. Yarn Bombing even has its own International Day; in 2024, it will be on June 8 (the second Saturday in June).
