A CREW of mysterious ninja grannies has been yarn-bombing Mt Hawthorn.

For the past few months trees along The Boulevarde, between Scarborough Beach Road and Ashby Street, have been festooned with colourful wool.

Lisa, who describes herself as a “non-knitting resident”, says locals don’t know who’s responsible for the woolly crop circles.

“We don’t know who they are but there is a rumour that it is six ladies who get together to knit on Tuesday nights,” she confides.

“They turn into ‘midnight raiders’ and have been yarn-bombing the trees in our street over the past few months.”

“The colours are amazing and we’ve noticed that it is something people love to talk about when they walk by the street—we’ve heard many of the parents and kids at Mt Hawthron primary are also talking about it.”
