Yarnadelic Sport Yarn English Sparrows by John Arbon Textiles
As you might not know, John Arbon is not only a spinner of yarn but also records. This got him thinking it would be great to create a yarn range inspired by his eclectic record collection. They had a fun evening when John played for the Mill folk some of his favorites and they all wrote down the color each song he played that they thought represented it.Then the hand carders came out, and they began creating shades to illustrate the sentiment of each piece – and thus, the palette for Yarnadelic was born.
Yarnadelic is 100% Falklands Corriedale. The breed is around 100 years old and was derived by crossing the Merino and Lincoln Longwool. Its properties are a perfect balance of delightful softness and bounce from the Merino combined with the slight luster and long staple length of the Lincoln Longwool. By giving this yarn a rounded three-fold structure, they’ve enhanced the fibers' natural stitch definition and drape, creating the ideal go-to yarn for everything from cables to lace and garments to accessories.
