Thirty knitted women yarn figurines are hung as bunting. One of the major themes of the campaign, unity, is demonstrated by these yarn-bombed figurines hung together. This sort of provacative message, conflating "yarn" and "hanging" is one of the themes seen in the craftivism movement. Most of the women figurines have been knit with orange yarn in support of the ‘Orange the World Campaign.’ This campaign advocated for a violence-free world, particularly violence against women.
