A type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted cloth, rather than paint or chalk. While yarn installations--called yarn bombs or knit bombs--may last for years, they are considered non-permanent, and, unlike graffiti, can be easily removed if necessary. The practice is believed to have originated in the U.S. with Texas knitters trying to find a creative way to use their leftover and unfinished knitting projects, but it has since spread worldwide.
While other forms of graffiti may be expressive, decorative, territorial, socio-political commentary, advertising or vandalism, yarn bombing is almost exclusively about reclaiming and personalizing sterile or cold public places.

a Yarn-valanche apparently consists of a veritable avalanche of yarn or other crocheted items. These could include anything from a knitted sweater, to a comfy blanket or even a simple ball of yarn.

1. I was sitting around a camp fire, and talking about the time I had a threesome with two ghosts and my buddy Frank said "Shut the fuck up. You're just weaving a yarn!"
