John Arbon Textiles DEVONIA 4Ply

Three sheep breeds from Devon, one mill, one yarn – Devonia is a piece of English landscape in yarn form

Devonia was the first yarn from John Arbon Textiles made exclusively from local fibers: 50% Exmoor Blueface, 30% Bluefaced Leicester and 20% Romney. The three breeds complement each other into a yarn with remarkable character – the Blueface gives bounce and lightness, the Leicester sheen and smoothness, the Romney a golden shimmer and substance. Spun in the Devon mill, which has been processing wool since 1797, on restored machines with their own names and personalities. Non-superwash – the yarn is alive.

With 388 m per 100 g in fingering weight, Devonia is particularly suited to shawls, scarves and lightweight cardigans – projects that need drape, sheen and a certain woolly liveliness. The yarn has a natural shimmer and develops a beautiful bloom after washing.

Wool with provenance – from the hills of Devon to your hands.
