My primary research at my allotments unearthed a lot of netting, fencing and chicken wire. So I wanted to incorporate this into my garment.
As well as sourcing some dress net from my local fabric shop I decided to try and replicate a the fruit netting that I found being used around the plots. I used a fine dark green and khaki coloured yarn on the lowest tension on a chunky knit machine to create this knit sample. I think that I will add these nettings to the patchwork style appliqué I will be creating on the hem of the apron dress.
