Meet the Maker

Hello, my name is Sarah and I am the sole owner, spinner, dyer & maker behind Scarlett’s Web Fiber Art. I live in Rumney, New Hampshire with my husband, son, 2 cats and 1 dog. I have been creative and artsy from a young age and fell in love with yarn when my grandmother taught me to knit when I was 5 years old. In addition to spinning, dyeing and knitting , I crochet, weave, needle punch and felt.

The natural world is a big inspiration for my yarns, whether it be flowers and insects or sunrises and rainbows. I also find ideas from the change of seasons, food, artwork or even books. Sometimes even just how I am feeling in a particular space in time can influence my yarn design process.

My love of crafting doesn’t stop at fiber. I also enjoy a variety of other creative & artistic endeavors including gardening, painting, sewing and candle making ,to name a few. I am a pretty good cook and baker too.

How it’s Made

All of my materials are sourced from local farms, small business and independently owned suppliers in the USA. I travel to several Sheep and Fiber festivals in New England every year to buy raw fleece, processed fibers ( roving, combed top, washed locks) and maybe a special fiber braid, batt or skein of yarn from another fiber artist that I feel would be a special addition to my hand crafted yarns.

I process all of the raw fleece myself. This means I wash, dry, pick , card, comb and properly store the fleece so that it is ready when I need it to dye and spin. There is no better feeling to me than to take a beautiful, but smelly fleece and bring out all of its beautiful characteristics. Nothing beats working with a fresh fleece. 

When I create my yarns I use several tools including carders, wool combs or blending boards to blend and combine different fibers depending on the look I am going for. Some fibers I spin just as they are without blending if I really want to showcase the raw color or texture of the fiber. I spin my yarns on one of my several spinning wheels in my studio in my home (if I only I could count foot treadles towards my daily step count ;-)

My dyeing technique is more free form then follow a recipe method. I sprinkle a little of this color dye and a little of that and see what comes out. As I work with so many different colors and shades, I always find a place for all the colors I create.

My yarns are always unique and truly one of a kind. They can never be exactly duplicated (even by me). I don’t plan for or pay attention to percentage of fiber blends in my yarn. I don’t keep dye recipes for colors. I like to have the freedom to follow the flow of inspiration. I make yarn purely for my own creative outlet and my own hearts joy
