STEAP and the Community Helped Hendersonville Join the Global YARN Art Trend on 7th Avenue!
What is Yarn Blooming?
(a.k.a. Yarn Bombing)
It is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colourful displays of
knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or chalk.
It is also called yarn storming, kniffiti, or graffiti knitting.
Our Theme:
"Growing Community"
​
To celebrate our county’s diverse community of
colors, cultures, stories, artistic and agricultural heritage & future.
Sponsored by
Six Trees
and a
Caboose Were Yarn Bombed on Maple Street!
HOW DID THE COMMIUNTY PARTICIPATE
in our

Yarn Bombing Project?
Over 1,000 people joined us to:

Knit, crotchet, or macramé rectangles out of any sturdy yarn in cool colors & patterns for the trees
-
Donate yarn, needles, time, and energy

Participate in our "YARN-IN DAYS" at the Train Depot on Oct 8,15,29, & Nov 19, 2022. See the photos of many people helping to create or hang yarn art
