Dazy Chains

Dazy Chains is a knit/crochet project by Hayley Mortin based in Tiohtà:ke/Montreal.

The project is named after a concept in computing known as "daisy-chaining", by which multiple devices are wired together to transmit a signal. 'Chaining' is also a term in crochet, which usually forms the foundation of a garment. Inspired by the influence that 18th-century garment-making machines had on the first computational devices, Dazy Chains is a gentle nod to the long interwoven history of computers and textiles.

Hayley is committed to supporting small scale yarn suppliers/fabricators. She works with: animal (mohair, wool, alpaca), natural fibres (cotton, linen) and synthetic fibres (nylon, acrylic).
