Yarn Bombing Week – Bright Knits for Bold Spaces

With Yarn Bombing Day just behind us, it’s the perfect moment to add colour to railings, fences and community spaces. If you’d like a quick, cheerful make that stands out, here are two patterns from the shop that are ideal for outdoor installations and window displays.

Pattern of the Week: Knitted Rainbow! (20% Off)

The Rainbow Knitting Pattern is bold, quick and versatile. Knit a single rainbow to hang from a fence or frame in a window, or make a few and join them into a garland. The pattern includes ideas for a 3D soft version as well as flat decor.

This week only: take 20% off the Rainbow pattern with code YARNBOMB20 at checkout.

Simple Bunting for Maximum Impact

Nobody walks past bunting without noticing it. The Bunting Knitting Pattern uses small amounts of DK yarn, so it’s a great stash buster. Mix colours for a joyful run of triangles and tie along railings or around a noticeboard for instant street‑friendly decoration.

Tips for a Successful Yarn Bomb

• Plan placement: choose safe, permitted spots where pieces are visible but won’t obstruct pathways.
• Secure well: use discreet ties so items stay neat and are easy to remove afterwards.
• Weather‑wise yarn: acrylic blends handle showers better than delicate fibres.
• Label it: a small tag with your group or website invites curious passers‑by to find more.
