Current and antique necklaces, earrings and ornaments are once again found in novelty shops. Knotted adornments are incorporated into some of the top of the line women's wear. Ancient Chinese Knot Art was made of silk, cotton or hemp. Some of the yarns were singles, core yarns and multi-plies. But I prefer natural fibers and feel these synthetics do not do justice to the beauty of the Chinese Knot Art.
Natural fibers have a unique and beautiful signature all their own.
I choose to adapt currently available commercial yarns and handspun yarns to the Knot Art or spin my own yarns coordinating knitting, weaving or crochet yarns with knotting yarns. In this way the Chinese Knot Art can be integrated completely into current fiber art. Adornments on knitted sweaters and woven jackets can be made out of the same fiber that the garment itself is made of. Necklaces, earrings, pins, handbags and other accessories can be matched perfectly in color and fiber contents to the custom designed apparel. But there are some inherent problems in knotting.
