Thanks for your comment! I appreciate your concern and compassion for living things and would like to let you know that in addition to my role as an artist, I am also a gardener and botany enthusiast (plant geek) and an animal lover.

Most of my yarn bombs don’t last very long and are usually removed very quickly (sometimes within hours and I’m sure that the one at the Kelowna law courts was one of those). They get taken away by municipal workers, souvenir seekers and I suspect to some extent (and my preference) by the homeless.

As a self-professed “yarn snob” I work primarily with natural fibres like soy, cotton and alpaca. If (on rare occasion) I do choose a synthetic yarn, I’ll use it for things I know will be removed soon.

Thanks again for commenting,

Yarn Bombing is UNHEALTHY for trees!!

Most yarn being used is ACRYLIC, which is PLASTIC, is NOT biodegradable & gives pests a safe cover from birds looking for food a place to hide while they bore into the tree, weakening it.

PLEASE, Yarn wrap NON LIVING THINGS ONLY!
