A collection of knitted garments that draws inspiration from contrast and illusion. Knitted on industrial and domestic knitting machines, this collection explores the concept of negative and positive spaces by the use of hand dip dyed yarns. Unconventional linking techniques are also used as key decorative details throughout the collection.
