Farrer Scarlett

Biography

Scarlett is a textile designer who specialises in woven textiles, predominantly working with raw, natural animal wool.

After teaching herself to spin yarns on a small drop spindle in the summer of 2023, she has created a collection with hand spun yarns and large felted pieces.

She works closely with local farmers, using their unwanted sheep and alpaca fleeces and putting them to use rather than being wasted, creating a sustainable cycle.

She has always taken inspiration from the natural landscape and interprets this vision through the blending of fibres and creating organic shapes

She has recently won the Heritage Crafts Young Weaver of the Year Award 2024
