Oi! Who’s that putting knitting where it clearly should not go?!?!
Operating from a secret underground wool-lined bunker in the heart of the busy metropolis of London, Knit the City’s Yarn Corps spend most of their lives operating under assumed names and living their lives like every day people.
You could sit next to one of them on the tube, spill your pint on one of them in a crowded bar or inadvertently ‘pavement dance’ with them on busy Tottenham Court Road. You would never know they were sneaky stitchers.
Knit the City have been collectively sneaky stitching in the city of London since February 2009.
Rumour has it they were brought together when a giant, damp and horribly tangled yarn monster rose from the depths of the Thames and attempted to smash his way around the city in search of good cake and total destruction. Each of the Yarn Corps individually battled the woolly chaos, until they discovered that their combined crafting powers were the only way to defeat it.
From that day forth they turned their needles and yarn to sneaky stitching as a collective whenever the city needed them. And sometimes just for the hell of it.
Four members of the original Yarn Corps are still active yarnstormers today and could strike anywhere with their handmade mischief. One is mysteriously missing in action.
Information on the Yarn Corps is sketchy at best but what little information is known has been gathered here.

Please note: The identities of the Yarn Corps are classified to protect their quest for world yarnstorming domination. Suspecting any resemblance to any person, living or dead, will possibly mean you are set upon down a dark alleyway with knitted clubs and chloroform, and wake up with part of your memory ‘re-knitted’.
