STEAP and the community helped Hendersonville NC  join the global YARN art trend on 7th Avenue! 

What is Yarn Blooming? (aka Yarn Bombing) It is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colourful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or chalk. It is also called  yarn storming, kniffiti,  or graffiti knitting.
Our Theme: Growing CommUnity: To celebrate our county’s diverse community of colors, cultures, stories, artistic and  agricultural heritage & future.
Six Trees and a Caboose were yarn bombed on Maple St!

Over 1,000 people joined us to:

  • Knit, crotchet, or macramé rectangles out of any sturdy yarn in cool colors & patterns for the trees

  • Donate yarn, needles, time, and energy

  • Participate in our "YARN- IN DAYS" at the Train Depot on Oct 8,15,29, & Nov 19. See photos of many helping create or hang yarn art

  • See the YARN BLOOMING TREES during the months of November 2022 to March 2023
