Yarnbombing Society

So I recently witnessed my first yarnbombing

And it got me thinking…

What if there was a semi-official group for determining what needed to be yarnbombed and then carrying that out?

The Reconnaissance Devision: Gathers info about Particularly Drab/Lacking bits of scenery through online reviews, test viewers, and just general consensus on boring sights. They will then mark these sights with a little sticker saying “Hello, as you can see, I am a bit drab. I would greatly appreciate being yarnbombed. Many thanks!”

The Upsilon Squadron: Does the actual crafting for the objects. From knitting to crocheting to even just spinning unspun wool for fancier yarn.Hats for lampposts and those weird copper people statues, scarves for parking meters and those randomly placed bike poles (see above), garlands for Particularly Drab Signage and fences. If a sign for a business is Particularly Drab, they send the owners a persuasive letter saying how much their sign could benefit from the yarnbombing (signed with only a yarn ball sticker and a classic Y/N answering thing). In those cases, they sometimes get paid!They use color theory to determine either what fits best for the area or what pops out and grabs your attention. Some people in the Squadron have preferred projects to work on, and are thus prioritized in assignments. Fence weaving tends to have multiple people assigned so it goes faster, in and out. Similar projects also have more people

Furthermore, if any Independent Yarnbombers or Indies have done the job before they could, The Reconnaissance Division will look for them using the indie’s socials to bring them into the fold. But they don’t walk up to the Indie and like, hand them a envelope sealed with a yarn ball sticker! No no no! Similar to Tumblr’s “I like your shoelaces” “Thanks, I stole them from the president” , they have “You seem cool, wanna go get soy bean lattes and enthuse about yarn craft?” “Heck yeah I’ll bring my wool!”.

And you might be asking “Well, if they only sometimes get money from doing signs for a business, how do they buy yarn?” Because they have actual jobs, no one really talks about it casually, also similar to Tumblr, everyone else would have some general idea of what they do, they know it exists, but they aren’t really sure what, why, and how they do. They have lives outside of the yarnbombing, but like to contribute a little dough to the group they love so that it stays their little chaos corner.

So for the secret invitation for phase, and because it is in a similar vein to The Freemasons in terms of how it would be viewed, I hereby dub this imaginary organization as the Society Of Yarnbombers or ✨The SOY✨
