Yarn bombing is a form of installation art, usually created by small groups of knitters and crocheters in an urban area. This non invasive form of soft graffiti has become popular all over the world. This Saturday June 11th is International Yarn Bombing Day, and artists and crafters all over the world will participate in a collective guerrilla-style yarn bombing of urban and rural settings.
