Find out why Rachel doesn't get in a muddle with this ingenious art form.
Textile knitting is a stimulating and accelerated method of hand crafting using 3-200 strands of fibre simultaneously on outsize tools. Mixing so many strands together gives the opportunity to blend many colours and types of fibre in a creative and painterly way. The resulting fabric is deeply comfortable, hard wearing and totally luxurious.
