Devonia is the first blend John Arbon created which was made exclusively using local West Country fibre. For Devonia, they chose a beautiful blend of Exmoor Blueface, Bluefaced Leicester and Lustre breeds. The Exmoor Blueface – their local sheep – brings its wonderful springy nature, the Bluefaced Leicester lends its outstandingly soft handle and lustre to the yarn, whilst the lustre breeds (a combo of Wensleydale and Romney) add their qualities of beautiful golden sheen and fine drape.
Together they create a wonderfully drapey lustrous blend, with just a dash of woolly bounce. It’s a go-to fibre for any time you want a little swing, like shawls and drapey cardis.
