NYC saw another yarn-bombing last month when HOTTEA decided to spruce up the Williamsburg Bridge with a colorful temporary canopy. The Minneapolis-based yarnmaster spun the rainbow-colored web directly over the bridge's pedestrian walkway, providing commuters with some eye candy to brighten their days. The artist entitled the work "Rituals " in reference to her daily routine of walking across the bridge into Manhattan and back.

With a team of assistants, HOTTEA's most recent yarn bombing project consists of 2,000 individual strands and took an estimated eleven hours to cut and install.

The installation titled Rituals dramatically transforms an otherwise dreary commute.

Signs of fraying are already evident on the installation, which will stay up until either human intervention or the natural elements wear down the temporary intervention.

Stretching ten feet above the ground, the beautiful blanket of rainbow thread looms above the average height of a door frame.

The site-specific installation reminds us how a simple jolt of color can transform our city.
