The Wool Experience...

The stand...

I was really excited when Diane from 'The Murmuring Wheel' invited me to have a stall at The Wool Experience, based at Blaze Farm (who have the BEST chocolate orange ice cream I have ever tasted!). It was a fantastic day filled with lots of wooly and knitted goodies. I met up with old friends as well as made lots of new ones! All the stalls looked fantastic, and there was a lovely flow of visitors who were really interesting to talk to (and who were also interested in my work which was nice!). 

Here are a few picture highlights:

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.
