The yarnbombers of Thirsk have been busy again and their Christmas display has been put out, mainly in the Market Place, so it was time for a bus trip to see their latest efforts.
Their simplest construction is a sleeve that fits over a bollard in the square, with something added onto the top. Here we have an elf and Father Christmas, and a third figure behind these two, that can't be seen. Three figures together like this make a nice upright structure fastened to the top of the sleeve to secure them to the bollard.
I'm not sure exactly how many features have been put on display, but there are probably around 50. We didn't spend a long time in Thirsk - it was a rather cold day. We did manage to call in the Arts Centre where home made food is available and which tastes delicious!
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
Whenever there is a new yarnbombing display in Thirsk, Katharine and I like to have a trip to see it. Their creativity and imagination is wonderful. There are about 35 people involved in creating these displays.
