Yarn Bombing

‘Yarn bombing’ is street art with a soft twist—covering trees, benches, and statues in colorful knitting and crochet. Also called “guerrilla knitting,” it turns everyday spaces into playful, cozy works of art that surprise passersby.

In 2025, CRAA initiated a community yarn bombing project at Elizabeth Swan Park in Clarenville. Many people crocheted figures, based on a pattern by international yarn bombing artist London Kaye. Some had never crocheted before so we offered a learn-to-crochet workshop. The figures were installed at the Park in conjunction with International Yarn Bombing Day and a celebratory BBQ was held. Thanks to everyone who participated in any way, and special thanks to the Rotary Club of Clarenville, which provided funding for the project.

See it in person at TWO location in Clarenville: the Elizabeth Swan Park (around the ball field), and our new location the tennis courts on Legion Road.
