If you are planning on yarmbombing, you should definitely initially think about the cost of your work, and consider whether or not that money can go to something better.Īs the day went on and we passed more and more shops boasting the prettiest women in Amsterdam, I did not feel as appalled as I originally did. However, one should realize that yarnbombing is a form of art, and artists are not obligated to constantly donating their work. While that may be true for some yarmbombers, one can be sure it isn’t a notion held by every single one out there. Some believe that yarmbombing and helping those in need aren’t mutually exclusive actions.
