Postcards from Cornwall

This project was inspired by my many trips to Cornwall, where I focused on the coastlines and colours found in these. To find my colour palette I turned my photographs into physical striped yarn wraps, which inspired one of my final pieces. I used hand knitting, domestic machine knitting, stoll knits and weaving techniques to create this final set of samples.

Development visualisations

To design my final samples, I first took to a mannequin and played around with different samples and layering ideas, which many led on to become the base of some final designs.
