Knitwear Design I: Introduction to Machine Knitting
Date
February 2024
Island Threads: Barbados Unraveled is a contemporary womenswear knitwear collection inspired by the vibrant culture, colours, and everyday beauty of Barbados.
Developed as an exploration of machine knitting, the collection investigates stitch structures, yarn manipulation, texture, and dimensional knit techniques. Drawing inspiration from the island's colourful architecture, tropical flora, local markets, and cultural heritage, traditional Caribbean influences are reinterpreted through experimental textile development and modern silhouettes.
Featuring a playful palette of turquoise, lavender, violet, and lime green, the collection celebrates Caribbean identity while exploring the creative possibilities of machine-knit textiles.
