Artist Patrick Carroll has used recycled yarn to create hand-knitted painting-style pieces for the Days textile exhibition at JW Anderson's Milan store during Milan design week.

"I was making clothing initially," he explained, donning one of his own pink creations. The pieces are on display at Milan's JW Anderson store
Carroll decided to apply his practice to artworks, designing pieces made from yarn salvaged from remainder shops that liquidate the fashion industry's leftover textiles rather than sourcing new materials.
Recycled wool, linen, mohair, silk and cashmere all feature in the rectilinear works, which are finished in colours ranging from coral to aqua to ochre.

Like Carroll's clothing, each piece was characterised by one or a handful of words lifted from sources including literature, existing artworks or the artist's own writing.
The smallest pieces in the collection were displayed on gridded shelving while larger pieces can be found...
