Yarn Bombing - is a type of graffiti or street art that employs
colorful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fiber rather than
paint or chalk.

This is perfect for a novice or a seasoned crafter. The
object is to encourage knitting /crochet/finger knitting in small
manageable squares over the course of 4 weeks. At the end of the 4 weeks
we collect the fiber art made by the group and “yarn bomb” with it-
usually it’s a tree out front of the center- or a statue/seat in the
facility- it’s just good clean silly fun!

Finger Knitted Pillows- Finger knitting is an easy way to knit long
chains quickly on your fingers! Once a chain is made, it is stitched
with oversized needles in any pattern on to fabric to create an
applique. The fabric is then machine sewn into a pillow.

All needles and
machines are pre threaded for easy use!

Thread Doodling-

Using colorful thread on cotton, paper wood to
create a one of a kind piece of fiber art. All needles are pre threaded
in an array of colors. Easy to follow instructions allows the crafters
to be creative in their own way- the not so crafty will be able to use
templates to create the same effect.

Thread on Paper makes beautiful
cards or framed art, on wood it has a 3d popping effect. Simple and
elegant threading on cotton with an embroidery hoop makes beautiful
gifts or wall décor.
