Community that knits together, stays together

The Mount Eliza community has once again been activated to knit or sew some festive decorations for each of the 67 street trees throughout the village.

No fewer than 88 members of this amazing community have been hard at work with their needles over the recent months, creating stunning, colourful decorations known as yarn bombing. This project, co-ordinated by the Mount Eliza Chamber of Commerce, has involved individuals, family groups, schools, school-age children, clubs, business owners, and staff from various shops in Mount Eliza.

The village looks stunning with individual pieces of textile art wrapped around every tree, so come and check them out for yourself, bring the kids and feel the festive spirit.  We hear that Santa is even on a tree – see if you can find him!
