Ersatz für Baumwolle und Kunstfaser: Die Rückkehr des Hanfs #taz
To raise awareness about environmental issues and provide a way to keep warm without turning on the heating, Dutch design studio Raw Color has created the Temperature Textiles collection, which is embedded with climate-change data.
The Temperature Textiles range features blankets, scarves and socks knitted with infographics about either temperate change, sea-level rise or greenhouse gas emissions.
Raw Color wanted to create pieces that draws attention to climate change and chose to focus on data because the studio regards it as an "essential visual" of the facts.
Raw Color's textiles include a flat-knit blanket with a pattern representing projected temperature rise
"It also has a graphic nature because data is represented by graphs, lines and colours," Raw Color co-founder Christoph Brach told Dezeen. "Therefore they are an ideal source of ingredients to transform into graphic patterns on textile."
Additionally, the studio liked the idea of textiles as a way to make information that people usually only view on a screen more tangible.
"Textile was important for us because it manifests the data permanently," said Brach. "On a screen, one sees it temporarily."
There are also double-knit blankets that gather several data sets into one piece
"Also, it is an object we can interact with," he continued. "A blanket can keep us warm and it can actively help to turn down the heating."
"And it is larger than a human when the data is displayed on the blanket, so it has more impact compared to a smaller screen display."
The largest items in the Temperature Textiles collection are blankets – three made using a flat knitting process and three using double knit.
The patterns on this blanket represent projected emissions rise, while other designs focus on temperature and sea levels
The flat-knit blankets feature the different emission scenarios modelled by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, with one design focusing on temperature, one on sea-level rise and the last on emission rise. Each line represents one year from 2000 until 2100.
The double-knit blankets have a more complex collage of visualisations as the process allows for two interlocked layers of fabric to be created at the same time, incorporating height differences and embossing effects.

The temperature-themed blanket, for instance, incorporates data on global warming by country and surface air temperature anomalies.
The socks and scarves, with their limited canvases, required the most selective approach to the data sets.
The collection also includes a scarf that records projected temperature rise
The socks visualise predicted sea-level rise as horizontal lines running along the back of the leg, similar to the lines of a ruler. But Raw Color could only fit one emissions scenario on the socks instead of the blankets' four – and could not use those with the most dynamic range.
"On the sock, we chose the most ideal scenario until 2050," said Brach. "Because everything else just did not fit on a regular sock. The highest highlighted line is 22 centimetres that you can feel on your ankle, the rise until 2050."
As well as taking advice from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute on its use of data, Raw Color collaborated with TextielLab, the workshop of The Netherlands' TextielMuseum, on the design of the blankets, and design studio Knitwearlab on the scarves and socks.
The collection's socks feature a mini visualisation of projected sea-level rise
Raw Color used the experience to learn about the different types of knitting processes and emerged with a particular appreciation for flat knit, which has a colour expression that Brach describes as "pure and vibrant".
The designers liked that the flat-knit process produces no offcuts, there is little waste and the machine can be adjusted to the size of the piece. This is in contrast to weaving, which requires the use of the full width of the loom and for the edges to be cut off.
The studio was also able to use a single material, natural merino wool, for the flat knit, whereas this was not an option for the double knit, which is a polyester blend.
People can wrap themselves up in the Temperature Textiles to keep warm
Founded by Brach together with Daniera ter Haar, Raw Color is a studio that blends different design practices to explore elements of colour.
The studio has previously held an exhibition of chromatic experiments at London's Aram Gallery and bleached coded messages into scarves using a customised printer.

Dezeen Showroom: made from one of the world's most carbon-sequestering crops, the Hemp fabric by Camira is designed to showcase a rich variation in tone.
First launched in 2012, Camira's Hemp fabric is made from a blend of wool and hemp fibres, combined into a classic weave.
The Hemp fabric by Camira is a classic of sustainable design
The hemp comes from a minimally psychoactive strain of cannabis sativa, grown in England and processed using environmentally conscious methods such as dew retting, which involves allowing dew and rain to break down the plant so its fibres can be extracted.
The crop itself is fast-growing and highly carbon-sequestering – it captures atmospheric carbon twice as effectively as forests, according to recent research by the Centre for Natural Material Innovation at Cambridge.
The fabric is available in 21 rich, muted colours
According to Camira, Hemp has grown into one of its "most iconic and loved" fabrics, and one whose merits have been proven as sustainability issues have come to the fore over the last decade.
"One of our proudest achievements, [Hemp] is one of the most eco-friendly fabrics on the market, providing incredible environmental benefits, and is also beautiful in its aesthetics," said Camira senior innovator Jodie Padgett.

Dezeen Showroom: Italian textile manufacturer Dedar has released a collection of furnishing fabric, which combines graphic art and textiles.
The Geometric patterns collection features abstract lines and colourful geometric shapes on fabric that is suitable for upholstery and curtains.
The fabric collection includes Volver, which is made using the traditional technique brocatelle. Above image: Andirivieni
Among the collection is a double-faced fabric called Andirivieni, which uses contrasting colours to create an abstract representation of maps.
Andirivieni is available in six colour combinations and its "dual personality has a lively spirit and is traversed by a subtle sense of play," said Dedar.
The Geometrics patterns collection is suited for upholstery and curtains
Volver is a patterned fabric made from the traditional technique brocatelle, which creates a relief intended to highlight the contrast between matt and lustrous threads.
Another fabric in the collection is Regimential, which has a striped pattern that references British school uniforms.
"Reginaldo is rigorous in its lines yet bright in its contrasting colours, endowed with an exuberant and comfortable spirit," said the brand.
Like other fabrics in the collection, Zai Saman feautures geometric lines and patterns.
The Zai Saman fabric features a geometric pattern embroidered on linen and is available in a range of desert-coloured tones.
