Rainbow Yarn

By India Collins

In a pristine suburban setting bathed in white, a simple lounge room emerges as a canvas of potential. Chairs, tables, books, and everyday items adorn the space, awaiting transformation. Using buckets brimming with vibrant yarn, children are encouraged to unleash their creativity, wrapping every inch of furniture until the once-bland room bursts into a riot of colourful hues.

In this suburban oasis as the yarn-wrapping progresses, the stark white gives way to an evolving dazzling rainbow wonderland, captivating both participants and onlookers alike. Children of all ages are invited to embark on a journey of artistic exploration, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary with every twist and turn of yarn.
