EMERGENCE RESURGENCE: This group features three-dimensional stitches like the ottoman, the flat rib and the off-work technique. It embodies the need to emerge, resurge and break free.

DYNAMIC FEELINGS: Dynamic feelings are floating yarns seeking to get out of the scheme, even if they strictly remain anchored to the swatch. They become symbol of a freedom which knows and respects the rules.

WILD STROLL: In the last group the floating yarns are not anymore anchored to the swatch and they finally become completely free, pushed out in a wild stroll that reminds us dripping paint and free color moving in every direction. color drops needles decrease one needle at work needles increase
