Raw Color has created a way to visually + aesthetically share climate data with Temperature Textiles' blankets, socks, and scarf.

Climate change is more at the forefront of the world’s struggles than ever before, and Raw Color has created a way to visually and aesthetically share the data with Temperature Textiles. The line is meant to distill this important information down to its essence, then turn it on its head by providing warmth to the user. Temperature Textiles’ products range from knitted blankets to scarves and socks, carrying climate data with them.
Three data groups are represented within the line: temperature change, sea level rise, and emission ? the most relevant drivers and causes of climate change. Data sets that Raw Color uses range from collected information of the past to modeled predictions of the future. They’ve collaborated with experts, such as KNMI, for their data input. On the textile side, they teamed up with TextielLab, among others. Knitting reduces waste thanks to its ‘made to measure’ ability. Raw Color decided on a curated color scheme, focusing on the communication value of each color group. A selection of warm shades are applied on Temperature Change, cool tones are used on Sea Level Rise, and a mix of warm and cool hues are combined on Emission.

The patterns of Temperature Textiles’ flat knit blankets are based on four emission scenario predictions modeled by IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on C...
