I got my yarn!!!!

Posted by Zoe Fletcher on Monday, June 21, 2010
I just received my first bag full of sample yarns - from my local farmers sheep, processed and spun at a local small mill...I'M SO EXCITED...and so relieved i've jumped head first into this final project! Its beautiful, soft and perfect for what I wanted! I'm so happy with it and can't wait to experiment with it!! And I got lots more than I was expecting - 14 cones to be exact - whoo!






ABOUT ME


Zoe Grace Fletcher Currently undertaking a PhD at Manchester Metropolitan University within the MIRIAD post-graduate department, I am beginning a practice based academic journey into British wool fibres and new technologies within knitwear design. Graduating with Distinction from a Masters in Fashion and the Environment at London College of Fashion, specialising in hand-knitting and the British Wool Industry, I have worked on a number of knitwear collections (personal and external companies), whilst freelancing and researching for a number of exciting projects. My work revolves around the idea of sustainable fashion from a knitted perspective and the different ways to achieve this incorporating the ideas of slow fashion into mainstream society. I love knitting. And wool. And double sided sticky tape.
