In Morocco, many cities are the cradle of craftsmanship. When I arrived in Marrakesh, I got lost in the medina. Amazed by all the know-how, I was interested in the tradition of the thread and the needle. Only the djellabas and kaftans were made by craftsmen. No trace of household linen. The latter was carefully embroidered by young women at home who prepared their wedding trousseaux for many years.
I spent a lot of time in the small shops watching the men work, sitting on a makeshift stool and watching their gestures. Having tea, sharing the traditional friday couscous. After all these years, I am still fascinated by this know-how and the grace with which traditional clothes are born.
The fact that I have been impregnated with Moroccan know-how, but also from elsewhere, has given me the desire to develop new games of yarn. For years, I’ve been scribbling line games in my notebooks. This is what I wanted to transpose on the DOTS model.
