Yarn Bombing Day - Worldwide Knit in Public Day - City of Adelaide

Wrap yourself in colour, creativity, and community at Yarn Bombing Day – Worldwide Knit in Public Day.

A free, drop‑in celebration of yarn art, crochet, and community connection, with hands‑on activities that bring Hurtle Square and its surrounding areas to life in vibrant colour.

Due to the long‑range wet weather forecast, we’ve made the decision to move Yarn Bombing Day indoors. The event will now take place at the Box Factory Community Centre. Reserve your ticket today to be part of this colourful community activation. You’ll still be able to yarn bomb the Forest of Dreams and nearby areas, with further details provided on the day.

Settle into the cosy community knit‑in, learn new skills from friendly facilitators, or add your touch to the vibrant yarn installations taking shape across the precinct. Enjoy a BBQ lunch or a warm drink while you stitch, chat, and create.

Everyone’s welcome — beginners, makers, families, and curious passers‑by alike.

‘This event has consulted with and has the support of the family of Anton Hart to yarn bomb The Forest of Dreams'.

This event brings the community together to learn new skills, socialise and contribute to a colourful public art installation in Hurtle Square / Tangkaira. We hope it sparks ongoing creativity among participants, inspiring them to create more vibrant pieces for the neighbourhood. Where appropriate, we will retain and store materials for future donations and additional installations to ensure the project continues to benefit the community.
