HOW HAS YOUR STYLE EVOLVED?
I want every piece of work I do to be considered individually. But, certainly, I have a recognizable hand. My work should appeal to all the senses and appear carefree and artless. But don’t be fooled – the devil is in the detail, and each piece of work is rigorously thought through.
WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST INFLUENCES?
Textiles: whether organic pieces, remnants, colorful threads, ethnic, ancient or contemporary, colorful or monotone, linen, wool, dyed or natural, I love them all. I also love folk art and handcrafted designs.

MEET THE MAKER RACHEL MACLELLAN
You might think the process is purely creative, but designing knitted textiles requires a deep understanding of geometry and pattern calculations. It is intricate and often mathematical. I have learned that knitting demands a constant balance between artistry and engineering. Creating a new textile involves not only selecting colours and yarns but also considering the tensile strength, elasticity and drape of the material. That way, I ensure the final product is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. To me, this blend of creativity and technical precision is a fascinating aspect of knitted textile design.
