16.01.2022 Have you checked out the March Yarns window lately ? It's currently displaying an amazing work of fibre art for Crosspollination 2020. Apart from the technical execution, which is incredible and worth a look in itself, the concept of the deadly sin Envy and its effect on a micro level is thought provoking and lingers long after the artwork is observed. March Yarns is proud to be a part of the art scene again in 2020! All the Crossxpollination entries are also viewable online and you can vote for your choice. The talent is remarkable, do have a look
