Yarn Bombing Los Angeles consists of a group of core members and an extended network of contributors. The core members, participants and level of involvement among collaborators have been fluid based on the project. Core members meet regularly, come up with project ideas and do what it takes to make the project happen. An extensive network of YBLA people we couldn't do without and collaborators contribute pieces to installations and are integral to the success of any YBLA project.
