Yarn Bombing at Towneley Hall

To kick start the Tea Cosies for Towneley project we have been busy with our knitting needles making some knitted pieces to be installed in the grounds of Towneley Hall in a few weeks time.
We are hoping that this will inspire people to come and see what we are making at The Open Shop in Burnley Town Centre and hopefully take part in our project.

There will be a small trail of yarn bombs for you to discover from the 10th May ... see if you can spot them all and let us know what you think by leaving us a comment on the blog.

For now, here is a little sneeky peek at one of the yarn bombs in progress..
