The idea of using monofilament snarls as dynamic elements in textiles, arose from the exploration with twisted and coiled polymeric actuators as part of my <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"doctoral research (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/anapineyro.com\/portfolio\/animating-matter\/\" target=\"_blank\">doctoral research<\/a>, and in particular, through an early experiment on the heat-responsive capacity of manually formed snarl yarns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Snarling is a common behaviour in twisted yarns, very much avoided in post-spinning processes within the textile industry, with exception of the production of fancy yarns. However, in the context of deployable textiles, snarls may offer opportunities to explore dynamic effects in the fabric structure when these are, for example, stretched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video alignwide\"><video height=\"562\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1000 \/ 562;\" width=\"1000\" autoplay controls loop src=\"https:\/\/anapineyro.com\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/TwistedMonofil_01_small.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video alignwide\"><video height=\"284\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1000 \/ 284;\" width=\"1000\" autoplay controls loop src=\"https:\/\/anapineyro.com\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/TwistedMonofil_02_and_03.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The samples developed to explore this idea were produced using a flat knitting, multigauge Stoll machine.

To deal with this, custom tension-control mechanisms must be implemented. At this instance, I manually fed the high-twist monofilament into the knitting machine, carefully gauging the tension to avoid both early snarling due to a lack of tension, or breakage of the monofilament due to an excess of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img
