Harvest Hues (4 Ply)

Harvest Hues (4 Ply) is milled by John Arbon Textiles (UK) and dyed by us.  It features 33% Bluefaced Leicester / 33% Falklands Merino / 33% Zwartbles (non-superwash) | 400m per 100g skein | Worsted spun

John Arbon Textiles does not give a recommended needle/hook size for their yarns, as everyone’s gauge is subtly different. It is possible to achieve quite a wide range of gauges with this yarn. A tighter gauge (more sts per cm/inch) will create a denser fabric and a looser gauge (fewer sts) will create a drapier fabric.  If you are substituting yarn for a pattern, we recommend comparing the meterage. If your yarn is within 25 metres of the given yarn per 100g then you should be able to happily get the correct gauge.

Inspired by the subtle tones of autumn in our Devon landscape, John Arbon Textiles set out to achieve a similar effect by blending the super saturated tones of our dyed Falklands Merino and lustrous Bluefaced Leicester with the naturally dark fibre of Devon-farmed Zwartbles. Together, they create a sublime depth of colour – transforming the resulting Harvest Hues yarn into complex, mottled, autumnal shades. The soft-as-a-cloud Merino, elegant Bluefaced Leicester and bouncy Zwartbles complement each other perfectly, giving the yarn a delicate woolly halo and full-bodied texture, and the perfect blend of softness, bounce and shine. Harvest Hues 4 Ply is a 2-fold yarn that creates a beautiful drapey fabric.

Use: Perfect for garments, shawls and other light weight accessories especially those with cables and texture.
