Yarn Bomb Explodes in Downtown Norwich!

Tuesday, 20 June 2017 at 07:56

Approximately 35 Norwich residents have created multiple yarn decorations for the downtown area.

NORWICH - If you have visited downtown Norwich lately, you might notice an extra pop of colour.

The Main Street area has been yarn bombed; meaning the area has been decked out with multiple yarn decorations.

Yarn bombing began in the US years ago and has since become a worldwide trend. BIA Member Laura Barker explains why they decided bring it to Norwich.

"We were looking for something to give us more colour and encourage tourism in downtown Norwich so about 35 people got together and have been knitting and crocheting for months just to create these beautiful art pieces."

Barker tells Heart FM about her favourite display.

"There's one that is made into a tree with owls in it, it's just beautiful on one of our parking signs. I think that one is everybody's favourite."

New creations are still being added to the display, so if you would like to add something just bring it on down!

All of the decorations stay up until the end of the town's Nostalgia Days celebration, which will take place on July 7th and 8th.
