A look at the new release from Areez Katki Studio that continues to explore colour and form on the surface of a hand-knitted textile…
Areez Katki Studio — Midsummer 2018
The midsummer 2018 offering includes the Izmir top, made of yarn sourced from the Western Aegean coast of Turkey, and a lightweight vegetable-dyed silk scarf…
Textiles for the scarf were sourced during Areez’s research trips around Turkey, India and Portugal; they were cut into two sizes: a generous Wrap & short Neckerchief. Each pieces is hand-embroidered with a series of playful markings in cotton thread, inspired by earlier artworks produced during Areez’s travels. Each piece is finished with hand-rolled edges that leave one side on the selvedge to celebrate the integrity of the textile mill it originated from.
