Knitting squares

Nikki Gabriel has a system of garment construction that uses knitted squares. (Found via world of textiles.) The yarn, called Wooli, is made of recycled factory fibre remnants, blended into yarn in New Zealand. The "natural" colour is called Greige, and there are several dyed colours -
A ball of yarn makes three squares - squares from another ball of yarn can be used for sleeves etc.
