Knitting
At the invitation of the TextielLab, Sigrid Calon also designed a label product using the new circular knitting machine in the lab. What makes this machine special is that it allows patterns to be knitted on both the front and back of the fabric. The throw is made of cotton and has a polyester filling that gives the blanket volume. Sigrid used shapes in her graphic style that reference knitting stitches. On one side, there is a gradient and color transition, while the other side is sharply drawn with graphic color blocks. Additionally, Sigrid incorporated her own designed bindings into the throw, referencing the tea towels she developed earlier this year.
