Description
Devonia was John Arbon Textiles' first blend made exclusively using England's West Country fibre. Devonia is a beautiful blend of Exmoor Blueface, Bluefaced Leicester and Lustre breeds. The Exmoor Blueface is their local sheep and it brings a 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.
