“Upon starting this project, I explored different mediums and textile production techniques I had never tried before and limited myself to. I tried hand-knitting for the first time, it was a learning experience of testing, analyzing, and practicing the process Farm-to-fabric is a learning challenge for me, yet seeing the beauty of the imperfection in the process of product development helps me to value the products that I can hold in my hands, and value the people behind each harvest of the fibers.”
