Yarn (wool) bombs in Buenos Aires, Argentina


Have you heard of yarn or wool bombs? A sort of colourful graffiti/street art done ( usually secretly at night) around objects (or trees) in the streets. These are in Buenos Aires, aren't they cool? Do you have yarn bombs in your city?

  4. Here in Milano none yarn bombs but another way to give colour to the city. It’s a different kind of guerrilla gardening called “piante volanti” or “abbracciapalo”. Easy to do, you just have to prepare some like tin cans filled with composted soil and a vigorous flower. Hang on a light pole along the street and that’s it! It’s nice to see some flowers around the city placed where you don’t expect it, looks up and enjoy it! :-)
