In celebration of knitting and crochet as one of the "hottest movements in modern art," Yarn, the movie, follows the crochet yarn bombing founder and street artist, Olek, and other leading international artists whose primary medium is yarn.

"Starting in Iceland, this thought-provoking film takes us on a colorful and global journey, as we discover how yarn connects us all."

Yarn, by Icelandic filmmaker, Una Lorenzen, premieres next week at SXSW Film Festival (South by Southwest) in Austin, Texas, but has been picked up by indie distributor Bond/360 prior to its premier. Yarn the movie, will be in North American theaters mid-2016, with home video release at holiday time.
