"Plant One On Me" Plisse Knit Bag by Taiwanese knitwear designer Yu Mei Huang

About the process
Knitting is associated with folk art and handicraft, and therein lay a signature charater in Yu Mei's design. The fabric of the Plisse Knit Bag is knitted in a designed structure therefore it creates a three-dimensional pleated pattern. The shaping technique used for each bag completes the shape at the end of the weaving process, eliminating the need for cutting.
This reduces the need for cutting and it means also reduce the need for redundant waste.

Printing - Handcrafed heatpress printing plays an important role in the making process. Printing on the knitted pleats fabric challenged the traditional printing techniques which requires not only specific temperature and printed timing but also related to how the pattern paper connect with the fabric.

Linking - It is a technique of connecting knitted fabrics, which has a pair of needles operating sequentially so as to form a secure stitch joining the fabric together, thus ensuring that at least one of the needles will engage into the loops of the fabric to be linked.

All of the process requires different levels of craftsmanship and technology.
That's why we appreciate them a lot, especially the Taiwanese printing old master who has been working closely with Mei Huang.
