Yarn-Storming: TOMORROW!!!! 😁
Where & when did this tradition start? The concept of yarn "bombing" is thought to have originated in the United States in 2005 when Texan shop owner, Magda Sayeg, unhappy with the bland landscape around her, decided on a whim to knit up a doorknob cosy for her shop.
What is Yarn Storming Day?
Every second Saturday in June is International Yarn Bombing Day, however "bomb" is too negative a word. Guerilla Knitting /crocheting "Yarn-Storming" is the practice of yarn made works of art being added to public places, for example, wrapping creations around trees or bus stops. It is an artistic, nature & property friendly, sort of graffiti. Let's do it!! Anyone & everyone! Dress up Salem. Including helpful items for those in need.
