Send your Christmas cards to this address! The festive knit-wits, who decorated red pillars using woollen creations, bring joy to the entire world.










Keep an eye out when you go to send those Christmas lists off to Santa, because postboxes across Britain have been struck with a mystery infestation of knitted mice, snowmen and even gingerbread men, all left by ‘yarn-bombers’.

Several groups of crafters with festive ideas have been gathering to use their crochet hooks and knitting needles. They then gathered in the middle of the night to place their creations across the country.

They are a secret society of Hertford crafters who created 42 Christmas scenes throughout the county.

A spokeswoman for the close-knit group, who formed in 2017, says: ‘It feels rather naughty for us ladies of a certain age to be going out in the dark, yarn-bombing postboxes.’

According to 160 members of the group, each bauble measures approximately 24in diameter. It took them 584 hours on average to create.
