Industrial Machine Knitting // Stoll
Exploration of Knit Structure, Materials, Three Dimensionality
Using the M1 Plus program, I used my knowledge of knitting to investigate different variations of knit structure combinations to create three dimensional fabrics. Focusing on yarn materiality and color combinations, I challenged myself to create textures and dimensionality that goes beyond using lycra as the main material to achieve the effects, In doing so, I found other methods to attain dimensionality, texture, shape, and rigidity that furthers my understanding of knit structures that could be applied and formed around dimensional objects.
Yarn: Nylon, Metals, Wool, Polyester, Lycra, Cotton, Rayon, Rayon
INSPIRATION BOARD
The knits were inspired by budding plants and explored through pattern, color, and structure. Through many trials of material, needle combinations, and structure I was able to push knitting techniques that take advantage of the Stoll machine’s capabilities while considering time limitations and efficiency.
