Locating- Yarn research


Throughout sampling for my branding project I have been trying to keep on top of my self-initiated project by continuing my research and drawing, I have been looking into yarn choices and colour pallets lately. Part of my brief I have written for myself is to experiment further with yarn choices, I will do this through sampling with yarns of different qualities such as a sturdy cotton alongside stretchy lycra’s also contrasting with silk for movement that I will source myself. I would also like to try unusual yarns such as plastics to see what I can create when combining them.


I am continuing my colour pallet from my drawings to my knits which is a good range of greys, purple-blue greys in different shades alongside different shades of purples and lilacs. I have also been drawing inspired by Reika Iwami and used a metallic ink when doing so to show his metallic areas. From this I have tried melting sequins to add to my samples for this metallic look but don’t feel like it’s the most aesthetically pleasing rout to go down for the overall style of my collection so I will be using foils along with my colour pallet.
