Knitted and Felted Textiles Lorraine Linton

Lorraine Linton graduated from the Scottish College of Textiles, and following an MDes in Textile Design (specialising in knitwear) and a short time as a junior designer for a knitwear agency working on fashions for high street retailers, she established INTO in 2004.

INTO creates a woolly extravaganza of cleverly engineered knits juxtaposing a vibrant palette of spots and stripes with pictorial jacquards. These individually knitted lifestyle accessories use organic embellishments grown from manipulative felting techniques creating eccentric egg cosies, woolly jewellery and irregular scarves. By exploring scale, traditional components become exaggerated. Scarves are skinny with large bobbles and beaded necklaces develop overstated proportions. The result is a light-hearted design evolved through the development of unusual knitting applications.
