ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — The yarn artists of Asheville have coated Wall Street with warm and fuzzy sweaters just in time for the winter chill to set in.

The knit project is dubbed the “Yarn Bomb of Love,” according to a signpost towards the end of Wall Street. It reports that the installation is the result of many nimble fingers at work.

The project is the latest in many community displays of unity around Asheville in the aftermath of the damage Hurricane Helene brought to the city. Check out the colorful crocheting in our gallery below.

The “Yarn Bomb of Love” on Wall Street in downtown Asheville is free to view for the community.
