Hillside Weaver is me, Emily Scott. I weave floor rugs, cushions, fine scarves, thick scarves, shawls and throws.
I started to weave when I was studying textile design at Derby College of Art and Technology in the mid 1970's.
I would be happy to discuss weaving your own yarn in to cloth, or to weave an item to your own requirements.

I sometime dye my wools and alpaca yarn with various commercial dyes, natural dyes (mainly onion skins) and also with indigo which produced beautiful blues.
I mainly use the alpaca in its natural colours.

My prices range from around
£35 for an alpaca knitted hat, £78 - £120 for an alpaca woven scarf £45 - £65 for the alpaca woven cushions £375 - £600 for the woven rugs However because I make small runs of cushions and scarves the price depends, of course, on the materials used and the time taken to weave. The rugs are priced on size and intricacy of the weave. I try and keep my prices affordable. |
I also knit....
