Pixie Flower

---

Abstract

The objective when designing this fully-fashioned garment, titled Pixie Flower, was to explore visual color mixing in electronic jacquard knitting. Visual color mixing was employed in this research to optimize the amount of colors that can be achieved with a four yarn color machine set up. In jacquard knitting, each additional yarn color adds time and cost to the product development process, due in part to yarn dyeing and the need for an additional yarn carrier for the knitting machine set-up.
