A rainbow of yarn is every weaver's dream, and a Minneapolis-based street artist has literally made that dream a reality by weaving a colorful arc over a bridge in Los Angeles last week.


Known as "HOT TEA," the fiber artist resembles a graffiti artist in the sense that he creates street art elusively and secretly overnight. However, his goal is to create street art in a non-destructive manner, which is why he's so fond of yarn.

The yarn rainbow, like much of HOT TEA's art, is only temporary and may not last much longer. However, these photos beautifully capture the colorful work of art and HOT TEA's vision. You can see more of the artist's work on his Instagram page and Flickr.
