Woolly pom-poms, knitted and decorated scarves and even some handmade spiders and webs, have been displayed at Yerrinbool Station, throughout the Railway Garden.
The display is known as yarn bombing - a form of street art which involves knitted, crocheted and handmade items which provide pops of colour to a public area.
The group did create a knitted display prior to the pandemic, and wanted to bring the joy back.
"I just want them to feel happy, especially in winter it's cold, a bit of warmth to the station," Ms Anderson said.
The technique has also been used by the pom-pom fairies in Bundanoon in the lead-up to the town's Winterfest, and annually by the Moss Vale Evening CWA, which is known as the group's Winter Warmers.
Some of the wool for the Yerrinbool display was donated, as were some knitted scarves and a pashmina, which was decorated for the occasion.

Resident Jan Helsep said it added vibrancy when the trees lost their leaves in the colder months.
Ms Anderson said it was also great for the knitters to see their creations on display.
If people want to have a look, the yarn bombing will be up until the end of August.
