Knitmap

Our Knitmap divides Scotland into 6 regions:

It features a selection of entries from across the website that offer regional comparisons and explore the project’s themes.

Explore each region to identify businesses , objects , and worker experience. These examples will provide a broad comparison of regional differences in the design and production of knitwear across Scotland and links to the project’s key themes.
