Heavenly new yarn from Devon

-

We’ve all fallen in love with the latest yarn from John Arbon Textiles, called Devonia. It’s a delicious blend of Exmoor Blueface, Devon Bluefaced Leicester and Devon Wensleydal­e wools that’s spun by John and Juliet Arbon at their mill on Exmoor.

The combinatio­n of the three wools gives the yarn a bouncy feel, a soft handle, and a wonderful lustre and sheen. It has been dyed in a palette of 14 beautifull­y deep, mottled shades that were inspired by the work of French tapestry artist Jean Lurcat. The gorgeous shades include Pollen Gold, Dark Skies, Burnished Bronze and Ocean Rain.

The yarn is available in 4ply and DK weights, costing £15 for 100g skeins - the 4ply has 388m, while the DK has 250m. www.jarbon.com 01598 752490
