Cosby Crafters at Markfield
Interactive ‘live’ yarn bomb/craft workshops, where participants will create a heart to be installed as a mini yarn bomb display in Markfield.
The workshops are inspired by the book – “Somebody loves you, Mr Hatch” – by Eileen Spinelli. Which explores the theme of supporting others in your community, being kind and spreading love.
Participants will learn how to make a wire wrapped yarn heart or hand stitched felt heart with tassel. The finished hearts will be hung amongst the branches of a tree to form an outside yarn installation for all to enjoy.
Session 1: 10-10.40am
Session 2: 10.50-11.30am
Session 3: 11.40-12.20pm

Mel and Natalie met in 2019 both having recently moved to Cosby. They soon discovered that they shared a common interest in creativity and a strong desire to connect with others in their community. They started a craft club called Cosby Crafters where a group of people met fortnightly to chat, craft, share ideas and laugh!
Inspired by a flyer advertising a yarn bomb in another location they decided to put on their own in Cosby. The group were up for the challenge and Cosby Yarn Bomb was born! A collaborative community event that includes participants with all skills and abilities, and encourages members of the community to come together and create colourful scenes made of yarn around the village for all to enjoy.
