Illusion Art

Knitted illusions are extremely difficult to photograph. When you look straight at the knitting the image disappears and you only see narrow stripes. The image is revealed as you move round and look from different angles.

We have recently updated a lot of our photos. These are probably the best we have ever had but they still do not capture the WOW factor you get in real life.

All of the illusions shown below could be thought of as wall-hangings though they could be used in other ways. Some of them are very large as that is the only way the knitting can show fine details. We usually use DK yarns. Illusions work in any thickness of yarn so using a thinner yarn would make a smaller piece.
