INTO creates a woolly extravaganza of cleverly engineered knits
juxtaposing a vibrant palette of spots and stripes with pictorial
jacquards.
Established in 2004, INTO was conceived by Lorraine Linton, a graduate of the Scottish College
of Textiles.
After completing an Mdes in Textile
Design specialising in knitwear, Lorraine spent a short time as a junior designer
for a knitwear agency working on fashions for high street retailers.
Lorraine's individually knitted lifestyle accessories use organic embellishments grown from manipulative felting techniques to create 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.
