HILO Textiles: Prototyping innovation

HILO Textiles develops machines for custom, replicable yarn design. They allow designers to hack the spinning process, test various materials and turn textile “mistakes” into new possibilities. “It started slowly because of my passion for textiles and lack of hand spinning skills." says Sara Diaz, designer and founder of HILO Textiles.
