Yarn bombing is a form of street art that employs colourful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn.

She explained: “It’s one of the ones I didn’t do!”

Rachel continued: “I would like to thank the group for all their hours of knitting and crocheting.

“Our Christmas display is well underway.”

The group has asked that anyone who enjoys the yarn creations donate to the Royal British Legion in the spirit of Remembrance Day.

The Hurstbourne Tarrant Village Yarn Bombers was founded by Rachel last year.
