WOMENS RUGBY WORLD CUP 2025

Northamptonshire Federation of WIs has been asked to Yarnbomb some of the street furniture within the St James area of Northampton that lead to Franklins Gardens, and where some of the World Cup matches will be played, including England. This will be a high profile event shown on TV and social media across the world and gives us an opportunity to put Northamptonshire WIs on the world stage!

YARNBOMBING – WWRC 2025
I am really excited about the progress we are making with the yarnbombing project and extremely grateful to all of you who are taking part. I can’t wait to see it all on display. With that in mind we are looking for people that may be able to help in a practical way by sewing things together ready for display. We also need people to help us attach the displays onto the allotted street furniture and railings. This will entail tying, stapling, sewing or knitting things We hope to have a local facility to use for storage whilst we do this.
