The Shima Computerised knitting machine requires each yarn to be tested before knitted into the final design, the time lapse for this project meant that I was unable to test the yarns I wanted to use for my samples, however I believe that 2/22 acrylic yarns that have used for these jacquard has created a very commercial approach to my design. In this project I am planning to investigate material qualities to make a conclusion on the yarns that are suitable for construction, I would like to create textured surfaces using yarns with varying qualities. The use of natural/synthetic could create interesting contrast, but also a consideration of elasticated yarns to change the form of sample.
I am planning to embed my samples within the walls of Key Forensics therefore creating stitches that leads away from the main focal areas provides visual directions for the eyes to follow, I would like to use this to show the trials that would lead the forensic employees to the evidence.
To drive the development of the jacquards samples I am planning to combine this techniques I have used to create more defined outcomes that represent the methodologies of forensic science as a visual concept.
