Yarn bombing is a type of street art or graffiti. Like graffiti that comes from a spray can it can vary greatly in style, aesthetics, and meaning.

While spray painting or tagging is typically meant to claim a place or vandalize (as well as display art and beautify), yarn bombings main motivation is to bring life, warmth, and a feeling of belonging and community
