What is 'Yarn Bombing'? 

Yarn bombing is an artistic expression, a fun thing to do, and a great way to spread the Joy of The Fiber Arts to the public - which is our mission anyway! You can find a fairly good description here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn_bombing. In the past, Philly Knits has been involved in yarn bombing projects with Mellisa Haim at Morris Arboretum, The Barnes Foundation, and Awbury Arboretum. However, right now it's better to contact others for this activity. We suggest...
