ROYAL OAK, Mich., (WXYZ) - A yarnbomber struck Royal Oak at least twice, covering public spaces with colorful displays of art.

Their handiwork can be seen in the photos above, brightening up a tree stump and bus stop sign post.

"Improving the urban landscape one stitch at a time," that's the yarnbombers motto and it can be seen in the form of creative, non-destructive of graffiti or public art.
