Science + Textile Art = The Awesome Scientifically Accurate Moths Knitted By London-based Artist Max

Science + Textile Art = the awesome scientifically accurate moths knitted by London-based artist Max Alexander, who enjoys the challenge of recreating the intricate colors and markings of different moth species as knitting patterns.

“I started researching moths and discovered how many different and amazing varieties there are. It quickly became addictive!”

“It’s pretty funny to knit moths from a material that they’re known to eat though. Although none of the species that I’ve knitted are wool eaters,” Alexander tells Creators.

Alexander also has a web shop where she sells framed originals and other knitted creations. She takes commission requests as well.
