A custom spun 100% wool sock yarn by John Arbon Textiles. It is a lovely blend of 3 different sheep breed that all live close to the mill in Devon, making it a minimally travelled yarn. I chose to add a dash of Zwartbles both to give the yarn its lovely heathered colour, and to add a bit of my Dutch heritage. The colours look beautiful on the grey background and it has the cutest little halo which shows itself even more once knitted up. Close is spun with a little bit of extra twist for extra durability, making it perfect for socks but also suitable for many other purposes, it has great stitch definition which makes cables and stitch patterns pop, and it is ideal for colourwork.
