Kodie Gibbs as Alice in Wonderland at the launch of last year's yarn-bombing festival
WESTHOUGHTON will be festooned with colourful crafts this weekend as the town’s popular yarn bombing festival returns.
The event was introduced in 2015 by the local Rainbow Crafts Group, with the help of keen knitters across the community.
The festival is taking part on Saturday and Sunday, during which the town will be covered in yarn displays.
