Your Task
Choose an object - big or small.
Gather some yarn - yarn doesnt 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.
