Sooyung Yangs Studio - A Touch of Wool III

As part of the 'A Touch of Wool III' fashion show, not only were the designers supplied with 10 metres of the the most divine WA Superfine wool, but we also get to work with Sooyung Yang and get some of our designs knitted via the amazing knitting machine housed at the Department of Agriculture and Food WA.

I went yesterday to chat with Sooyung about my designs and also to choose a type of knit for the garments. I was like a kid in a candy store. I love visiting Sooyungs studio. She is meticulous in her work. She is such a hard worker and an amazing person. It was a fabulous visit and I can't wait to go back.

The above image is of the WA Superfine wool processed into yarn. 

Ok, so here is a sneak preview- The image below is a sample of the type of knit I chose for one of my garments. There are hundreds of fabulous and detailed designs.

I chose to go simple in texture, for depth in design.

  Sooyung will now make a toile (mock garment) to check the design, knit type and sizing is correct, etc. After that on to the dyeing process.

So stay tuned for more adventures on this fabulous ride to 'A Touch of Wool III' fashion show, Perth Fashion Festival, 2010.
