Related Topics: Yarn, Yarn bombing, Knitting

The Caps continue to lead the NHL, so it’s no surprise that support for the home team is popping up everywhere. You never know where you’ll see fans Rocking the Red, even at a yarn bombing. A yarn bombing? In case you are unfamiliar with this growing art, it is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fiber, and unlike paint or chalk, it is removable. Yarn bombing is also known as yarn storming, guerrilla knitting, kniffiti, urban knitting or graffiti knitting.

A group of twenty women and men knitters and crocheters participated in the event.
