This project explores the ways in which experimental and unconventional materials can be constructed into textiles through knit and crochet. The samples I have produced explore qualities needed to create innovative, tactile and interactive fabrics. An integral part of my process has been utilising material exploration, sampling and research. Through this I have found that materials can possess different tactile qualities than they appear to. I aim to challenge perceptions of materiality while creating unexpected haptic sensations when interacting with the textiles.
