Unravel

by Maya Leroy · Netherlands · PLA1236 · Published 04 Jun 2019
About this material

Unravel is a new approach to knits. Whereas unravelling is something most of us want to avoid, Maya Leroy has elevated it into a new discipline, in which the technique could be used for the making of garments.

Pull the thread and watch it unravel. Gradually a new colour, shape, length or width will unfold. The former disappointment of fabric falling apart will turn into a pleasant surprise, allowing the owner to add a personal touch. The excitement and qualities that lie within the unravelling are endless. Imagine a new look for every season. A whole collection in just one piece!

The unravelling allows the knitwear to flourish and reach its full potential.
