Beautiful New Yarnbomb Blooms on Frankford Avenue

1–2 minutes

Located near the La Colombe in Fishtown, on Frankford avenue at Master street, I’m not sure who did this (it’s not Ishknits, I checked), but I absolutely LOVE it!

And is it just me, or does it seem to be ‘growing’ out of a big crack in the ground that exposes the earth beneath it? I suppose that’s intentional. Brilliant!

Feel free to comment if you know the artist…

UPDATE (7/1/16):
The artist goes by the name Binding Things, and can be found on Instagram HERE!
