Texture: 20 Timeless Garments Exploring Knit, Yarn, and Stitch

“For me it’s not only about awe inspiring vistas of coastline or faraway fields and moors, but also and sometimes more importantly in the often overlooked details of eroded paint on a wall, moss on a pathway or the shadow play of light through a window. Texture is an exploration of knit, yarn and stitch through 20 timeless garment projects.” – Erika Knight
