Yarn Bombing Sisters
Sisters Lorna and Jill Watt work together to make knitted and crocheted yarn bombing projects in the San Francisco Bay area, where they create commissioned installations and guerrilla-style public art.
Below are two videos which follow the sisters in their planning, knitting, execution, and installation of several projects.
"Our materials definitely force our work to be ephemeral. A mural you could leave up for a long time. A yarn bomb? You're lucky if it lasts a year. So you definitely have to keep making new things all the time."
"I like coming up with ways to overcome our limitations." Lorna and Jill Watt
