Yarn bombing in the village of Gurnard on the Isle of Wight

Yarn bombing – also called guerilla knitting, yarnstorming or kniffiti – brings a warm and fuzzy bent to modern street art. Artists use knitted materials to cover outdoor fixtures such as lamp posts, park benches and manhole covers – often anonymously. This knitted ‘fungus’ is on a tree in Gurnard, a village on the Isle of Wight. It’s thought that the practice originated with knitters in Texas, USA, but it’s since spread around the world, with artists knitting expansive covers for large sculptures and even city buses. Kids these days.
