Milling Around Milwaukee's III Ward: Crafting Stratiformis, a trip down fabric

What's the lowdown on Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward? This place isn't just quaint, it's spinning a yarn that'll hook you good and take you on a stroll through a fuzzy dreamland.

Artist Jin Soo Kim didn't sew up this thread-twirling triumph over a cup of joe under ol' Vulcan's glimpse. This grand tapestry took shape on the looms of Catalano Square, where rusty rods and antique knitting machines keep the needles busy, weaving wool into a maze. Call it a musical ode to the city's repurpose story, Stratiformis is a puzzling yet peculiar pattern woven patiently. It's a rise from the ashes, a shoutout to the hand-me-down of needles and long-forgotten stitches.
