Horsley Wool Fair, 2014

Posted by Zoe Fletcher on Tuesday, October 14, 2014
A great day out, in a beautiful part of the world...and who do I run into? My favourite spinner in the world - Mr Paul Crookes! We had a great chat, and he showed me some of the new (and always beautiful) yarns he had been spinning!

ABOUT ME


Zoe Grace Fletcher Currently undertaking a PhD at Manchester Metropolitan University within the MIRIAD post-graduate department, I am beginning a practice based academic journey into British wool fibres and new technologies within knitwear design. Graduating with Distinction from a Masters in Fashion and the Environment at London College of Fashion, specialising in hand-knitting and the British Wool Industry, I have worked on a number of knitwear collections (personal and external companies), whilst freelancing and researching for a number of exciting projects. My work revolves around the idea of sustainable fashion from a knitted perspective and the different ways to achieve this incorporating the ideas of slow fashion into mainstream society. I love knitting. And wool. And double sided sticky tape.
