We have been huge fans of John Arbon Textiles for a while and are beyond thrilled to have their yarn in the shop. They are a worsted wool mill in Devon, England that takes solid color tops and blends them to get their beautiful colorways. Some colorways are are a blend of 6 or more individual colors making for very rich and nuanced colorways. Be sure to zoom in to the colors to see how gorgeous the final tops turn out.
Yarnadelic is created out of 100% Falklands Corriedale, which is a breed that's around 100 years old, derived by crossing Merino with Lincoln Longwool. It is the perfect balance of delightful softness and bounce from the Merino combined with the slight lustre and long staple length of the Lincoln Longwool.
Yarn spun from Yarnadelic tops will be a wonderful all-round yarn, suitable for everything from cables to lace and garments to accessories.
Every shade of Yarnadelic is named after a song inspired by their eclectic music tastes – from punk to funk! The Yarnadelic palette was born during an evening of good vibes and chilled wine, with each shade conjuring the sentiment of a favorite song. Check out the playlist on Soundcloud or Spotify. Then sit back and tap that treadle to the beat! We hope you’ll find this groovy range of melange shades inspiring.
