Abstract

Throughout the Beyond e-Textiles project, there was a focus on the significance of establishing dialogues across professions using physical prototypes as prompts. Given the framework of the project, where the involved partners developed and explored
in parallel, the prototypes have been developed through a mimicking approach. The mimicking consisted of identifying and sourcing for existing yarns that could exemplify the yarns that the project was expected to develop and then exploring
these existing yarns with knitting machines, weaving looms and other textile making machines, tools and techniques to illustrate potential outcomes and uses. This part of the process focused on creating tangible samples that enabled interdisciplinary discussions in relation to aesthetics and tactility as well as further development of technical properties and functionality.
