Yarn bombers strike again

Yarn bombers have struck once again, this time decorating the picnic area in front of the Lake Boga general store on Marraboor street.

The Tyntynder branch of the CWA were once again responsible of beautifying the street after they yarn bombed Campbell street in Swan Hill in October.

Active member of the CWA Tyntynder branch Katherine Schultz said the owners of the general store Janine and Steve Spry requested them to put up the artwork in front of their store.

“Originally no one knew who had done the yarn bombing on Campbell street, but then people soon found out it was us,” Ms Schultz said.

“We had so many positive comments, it’s been a really great thing to promote our branch.”
