A SEA of colourful yarn creations can be spotted around Taunton

Crafty residents have been putting their knitting needles to good use to "yarn bomb" the town. 

The pheunomenon started in 2015 as part of Taunton Live Arts Festival. GoCreate started the trend which quickly caught on around the town. 

This year, a trial has been set up for people to view the cosy creations. 

It has been co-ordinated by Marcia Hill and sponsored by Monkton Elm Garden Centre. 

So come on, let's see some fantastic photos of what you spot around the town! 

Here's where you might find some:
