It was such a lovely spring day today. That means only one thing, of course, a Crochet Day! And, what better place to crochet, but at the Royal Melbourne Show, with the lovely ladies from Yarn Corner.
Yarn Corner is a Melbourne-based yarn bombing group. Their website tagline says it all, “Covering the Town in Yarn”. And by “town”, what they currently mean is the Royal Melbourne Show. In fact, their “A Life in Yarn” installation includes a completely yarn covered 4-bedroom house, car, caravan, and backyard equipment.
The highlight of the house would have to be the yarn bombed bathroom, complete with toilet, hand basin, bath filled with water (granny squares in all shades of blue), towel rack, rubber duckies and much more.
But Best in Show has to go to the Car and Caravan.
I believe about 60 people contributed all up, from peeps like me who sent in a few squares, to whole pieces / blankets / couch covers / vases … and just so much more.
Led by worthy leader Bali, Yarn Corner has members all over the world, with contributors posting in their bombing preparations.
If you’re in Melbourne and have a spare moment, it’s well worth a look. Just stay away from the showbag pavilion, I’m still recovering!
Wow! I’m not usually much into yarn bombing but that does look amazing, thanks for sharing.
No worries Patch! I agree with you about some yarn bombing ~ it’s gotta be pretty spectacular to stand out.
I don’t know why Bali’s hands aren’t permanently cramped into crochet position…she’s a machine!
I love the african flowers 🙂
Haha! Yes, the african flowers are just gorgeous. 😀
i love the knitted/crochet bathroom.. looks amazing.. thank you for the lovely pictures.. 😀
No worries Wisher. Yes, the bathroom was pretty spectacular (and original)!
Very cool!! Thank you for sharing!! It’s fun seeing what fiber lovers do in other countries (I’m in the US, NY).
Thanks Dhalia. Yes, yarn bombing seems to be alive and well all over the world! I do love NY 🙂
Wow, what a lot of work! 🙂 Lovely!
I know – it looks like heaps of work, doesn’t it? I think it all took MONTHS!
Wow!
Thanks for sharing your pictures, especially nice for us who live far away from Melbourne. Lovely to see all the works:)
Thankyou – it really was quite amazing 🙂

I loved the yarn bombing photos from this gorgeous blog by Conversations with Moo. I am really appreciating the creativity and work involved in these projects. Wow is all I can say.
A group of people have started doing some yarn bombing in my neighbourhood but NOTHING on this epic scale – love the caravan!
Awesome! Yes, this definitely fits into the “epic scale” category I think!
WOW….funny, silly, crazy, but COOL…… I love the yarn bombing photo’s.
Thanks. Yes, it does make you smile 😀
Wow, this is amazing! Any plans to do your own bathroom ? 😉
Haha! Oh my, I’m not sure husband would be happy with that! 😀
Absolutely incredible! The amount of work alone is impressive, you are lucky to be able to see it all in person and up close!
Yes, such a HUGE amount of work went into it all. It was so nice to see it, and to meet some of the lovely ladies involved.
