contents We consider the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE$_κ$) for $κ\in (4,8)$, which is the regime where the curve is self-intersecting but not space-filling. We show that there exists $δ_0>0$ such that for $κ\in (8 - δ_0,8)$, the range of an SLE$_κ$ curve almost surely contains a topological Sierpiński carpet. Combined with a result of Ntalampekos (2021), this implies that in this parameter range, SLE$_κ$ is almost surely conformally non-removable, and the conformal welding problem for SLE$_κ$ does not have a unique solution. Our result also implies that for $κ\in (8 - δ_0,8)$, the adjacency graph of the complementary connected components of the SLE$_κ$ curve is disconnected.
