Yarn Bombing Singapore

Yarn is our paint.
The world our canvas.

A Singapore crochet collective making public art together since 2014.

Collage of crocheted pieces from the Bukit Timah Truss Bridge yarn bombing: a HOPE banner, bees on a honeycomb panel, mushrooms, tulips and granny squares.

What we do

We bring people together to create public art installations in our shared spaces. A project starts with a theme and takes shape as we crochet together.

It has been our way of working for over ten years.

Crocheted blankets and tulips along the railings of the black steel railway truss bridge at Bukit Timah, the old track running into the distance.

Chill, Enjoy the Little Things

Bukit Timah Truss Bridge · Lean on Me, 2023

On the old railway truss bridge at Bukit Timah, we hung the black steel with crocheted blankets, flowers, bees, and fat mushrooms. Chill was a reminder to enjoy the little things, inspired by the patchwork blankets children are given by their grandparents.

A New Day

Pangsua Pond · Lean on Me, 2023

At Pangsua Pond, we lined the boardwalk railings with crocheted butterflies, a caterpillar, dragonflies and ladybugs. Each butterfly was built from hundreds of flowers, every one made by a different hand, because nobody stands alone.
