Join the Office of the Dean of Students on Wednesday, April 1st, from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. near the Union Oval (outside Bowen-Thompson Student Union) to install the 2026 SAAM Teal Yarn Storm!

What is a yarn storm? Yarn storming is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fiber rather than paint or chalk. It is frequently used as a form of political resistance. Yarn storming has become synonymous with the current feminist movement, in part due to the reclamation of the traditionally feminine arts of knitting and/or crocheting to participate in the traditionally masculine graffiti scene.
