Yarnbomb at Feis Spe 2011

Yarnbombing is knitted graffiti, it uses knitting to liven up outdoor spaces, building and street features. Yarnbombing draws attention to public spaces and makes a statement in a non-destructive way.

Jen Cantwell is a Moray based artist/designer who works with textiles making large installations and small sculptural pieces using traditional handskills and interactive technology.
