Hemp, link stitch knitwear: dyeing processes and color variants

Link stitch knitting leads to the absorption of colored pigment with different intensities depending on the exposure of yarn on the knot. The result is a pattern with gradient colors that moves across the fabric. The link stitch hemp t-shirt is available in Prototipo Studio’s two variants mud green, and dark gray, in addition to the natural fiber color between cream white and straw yellow.
