Let's do some Yarn Bombing!
Next to the shop we have a big beautiful tree that we think needs some decoration. We talked to the landlord and he gave us permission to yarn bomb the tree! What is yarn bombing, you may ask? Think of it as graffiti, but with yarn! The idea is to wrap part of the tree to add a little color to the neighborhood and we'd love your help!
We believe the easiest thing is if we all make pieces that are between 10" and 12" square then we'll seam them together and wrap the tree.
Any color is fine, the brighter the better. Likewise, any style of knit or crochet or weaving is fine. Any pattern at all. We'd suggest using either wool or acrylic for your squares. We'd also say to avoid cotton or alpaca as it would stretch too much. And remember, it's outside, so don't use your favorite yarn on this project! (If you want some wonderful and inexpensive yarns, we can help, but you knew that)
Perfect for 'busting your stash', we're very excited about the idea of a yarn tree next to the shop. Any and all are welcome to come in the shop to work on your squares. If you're not near us, you can send us squares in the mail, if you're so moved. Just be sure to send us your name so we can thank you for participating!
