"Yarn"Bombers

The Ladies Fancywork Society is at it again. In July they were commissioned by the City of Denver to add their crochet work to chainlink fence.
From the Ladies:
The Central Platte Valley Fence Project is a continuation of the exploration of scale and juxtaposition with the background upon which the work is placed. The concept of this piece is a wildflower garden, with crocheted pieces of around 6” to 12” in diameter dotting the fence andhumming with leaves, bees, butterflies, and other garden inhabitants.
Colorado draws people from all over the world with its inspiring mountains and never-ending skies, with Denver as the cultural focal point. This installation celebrates that wild beauty through a sort of nostalgic delight: evoking feelings like the granny squares your nana crocheted, cookies baking in the oven, smocked dresses on little girls; simpler times.
