Zoë Lyne

Zoë Lyne is a freelance knitwear designer graduated from Winchester School of Art. Her work focuses on knitted fabrics, primarily experimenting with structural textiles that can be used within fashion and performance. 

Alongside this, Zoë is also working on her project The Woolgatherers Workshop, sourcing local fibres which are then made in her studio on Dartmoor. 

The Woolgatherers Workshop is an investigative project, rooted in a deep connection to process and materials;  honouring an ancestral practice. A Commitment to learning about wool production, spinning, weaving and knitting. With a holistic approach to design we work with local farmers and spinners with the aim to utilise the resources Dartmoor gives us. The heart of our handcrafted knitwear design practice is centred around the human body and its connection to its environment, our garments act as a bridge between ourselves and the landscape around us, this connection goes much further than the physical relationship but into the realm of ancestry and tradition and what connects us to our landscape through materials and rituals of making. Rituals to live in.
