The Tempestry Project Visualizes Climate Change Through Knitting – Get A Kit To Make Your Own

Posted by Danielle | Jul 1, 2018 | Knitting Patterns |

“The Tempestry Project blends fiber art with temperature data to create a bridge between global climate and our own personal experiences through knitted or crocheted temperature tapestries, or ‘Tempestries.’ Each Tempestry represents the daily high temperature for a given year and location, all using the same yarn colors and temperature ranges.”

See some examples of tempestries below, and if you’re inspired, there’s even a kit to make your own.
