Tights

The body is important to my project, and after focusing more so on the skin I want to transfer a skin like quality into my fabrics. With me being unsuccessful at finding a yarn I felt resembled the colour or feel of skin, I chose to use skin coloured tights after seeing some exhibitions where tights were the main focus.

 The stretchy quality of the tights will work well when I incorporate the tights into my samples, as it will make them easy to inlay. They will help to convey my idea of the body being trapped and distorted in the knit.
