Resources
Much of our research results in the production of open-source and publicly available resources. We've compiled these resources here for you to explore and, hopefully, use within your own practice.
AdaCAD
Open source weave drafting software
Desktop Bio-Fibers Spinning Machine
an open-source, modular machine for producing textile fibers from sustainable bio-based liquid solutions. It enables prototyping new types of sustainable fibers and exploring the design of sustainable smart textiles.
Yarny Yarn Recipes
A catalog of the various conductive and non-conductive yarns we hand-spun to bring a range of textures, aesthetics and overall 'yarniness' to our interactive textile prototypes.
Making Magnetic Reverberations
A catalog of the samples experiments conducted during our 2023 experimental weaving residency with Elizabeth Meiklejohn and Irene Posch
Critical Crochet
a crochet and data activity book
Experimental Textiles Curriculum
schedule, resources and materials for a 15 week course introducing experimental textiles with weaving
Prototyping Experimental Textiles Open Textbook
an always in progress textbook originally designed to introduce students from a wide range of disciplines into the materials, processes, and opportunities for prototyping smart textiles.
Weaving and Drafting Force Sensors Activity Book
a book that introduces beginners to weave structure and its applications for making sensors
