Regent Street in Douglas has been “yarn bombed”.
That’s the message from Douglas Development Partnership (DDP), which found colourful wool covering the trees and street furniture this morning.
The Manx Yarnies say the event – created with permission from the DDP - is a celebration of its 132-strong knitting and crochet group.
Organiser Lorna Trevethan tells us she hopes the “graffiti-meets-street-art installation” will brighten up the street and make people smile.
She explains where the idea came from:
Manxman sailings in doubt from tomorrow
Car falls down steep bank on Mountain Road
Panic over - Mcdonald's reopens at 11am tomorrow
Police say beat it to cars illegally parked during MJ tribute act
No dedicated prostate cancer screening programme, despite over 1,200 referrals
Minister says GP waiting times have improved, but delays still impact A&E
Crash closes section of the Mountain Road
Island's prison nears full capacity
