Yarn bombing hits the big time! This recent article from Time Magazine shows that yarn bombing is here to stay as an acceptable form of grafiti. Not only do grafiti artists no longer have to yarn bomb unseen in the dead of night, but they now even get the assistance from local civil servants. Just check out the photo taken in Vancouver showing local fireman attaching “yarn blossoms” to a tree. Nothing is off limits in the art of yarn bombing– from tank covers to pot holes. Gotta love it! 
Yarn bombing makes Time Magazine!

It’s true, although we had no help from our council, we have just yarnbombed a building in Folkestone, Kent for the triennial fringe event working alongside local artists who have funded the projects themselves. To see the result of our efforts have a look at our Purl Queens page on facebook here:
