Autumn Textiles - Emily Mackey Rare Breed Collection



Emily Mackey is a textile designer, illustrator and weaver who specialises in using native breed English wools and traditional embroidery techniques.


She also works with some of the few remaining mills in the UK to produce her larger Herdwick blankets.


There is something intangibly romantic about Emily’s work. Her use of ancient materials, traditional crafts and imagery of bare trees seem to evoke a sense of place and heritage that speaks to our rural ancestry.
