Annie Garnett (1864-1942) was a formidable designer and entrepreneur whose textiles influenced the revival of hand spinning and weaving in the Lake District, UK.
She had a keen sense of colour inspired by the flowers in her garden and the landscape of the Lake District. A talented designer and keen businesswoman, Annie established and managed a Spinnery in Windermere, which produced beautiful textiles using traditional methods.
New research portrays Annie as a key figure in the Arts & Crafts movement. Some of Annie's textiles are held at the Museum of Lakeland Life & Industry.
