Your Task
• Choose an object - big or small.• Gather some yarn - yarn doesn’t need to be
traditional wool; string, tape, wire, torn strips of fabric can all be used as yarn in this context.
• Wrap it - think abstract, can you create other shapes in or extending from your chosen object?
• Document your object - take lots of photographs or draw it.
