Join the playful festival challenges! 🤩
The challenges bring fun activities for everyone – alone or together. By taking part, you collect stamps in your Festival Pass and can win craft-themed prizes! 💯💥
First challenge: Design and pre-make a yarn bombing piece. 🧣
Start planning and making already now, with the goal of installing your yarn bombing during the Knit Festival in August.
What is yarn bombing? Yarn bombing 🧶 is a form of street art where public spaces are decorated with knitted or crocheted pieces. It is a soft, warm, and often humorous contrast to traditional graffiti.
Yarn bombing began in the early 2000s, and one of its well-known pioneers is Magda Sayeg. Since then, the phenomenon has spread around the world – including Finland, where it is often seen at festivals and in community projects.
Where would you place your yarn bombing? Will you create it alone or together?
