Yarn bombing is a type of non-destructive temporary street art that employs colourful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn to cover objects or structures in a public place.
Over the weekend of 8th/9th June 2019 Monageer Grotto was transformed into a riot of colour by the local group of Knitwits, who had spent their winter months creating artistic pieces to decorate the trees on the three and a half acre site. The pieces are ornate and tactile in keeping with the ethos of the Sensory Path. With over 100 pieces on show it’s a must see. This temporary art installation will remain in place over the summer months, or until the effects of the weather dictate otherwise!
Monageer Knitwits yarnbombing project featured on RTE’s Nationwide programme on 19th June 2019. You can see the programme on RTE Player or RTE Player International.
