Yarn Base Info

HARVEST HUES 4 PLY BY JOHN ARBON TEXTILES (DYED BY LOUIE & LOLA)

Fibre Content: 33% Bluefaced Leicester / 33% Falklands Merino / 33% Zwartbles

Meterage: 400 metres / 437 yards per 100g.

Gauge & Needles: 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.

Characteristics: Inspired by the subtle tones of autumn in the 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, worsted spun, non-superwash (untreated) yarn that creates a beautiful drapey fabric.

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

Tips for working with Hand Dyed Yarns
  • The beauty and nature of hand dyed yarn is that every skein is unique and individual. Even within the same dye batch variations between skeins can occur.
  • We therefore recommend alternating skeins within your projects to ensure an optimal finish and colour blending.
  • Please also ensure you buy enough yarn for your project at the time of purchase, as colours can vary between dye batches.
  • Our yarns come twisted in a skein and will need to be wound into a cake before use. You can do that yourself or have it done by us using our Cake Your Yarn service.
Care Instructions

Hand wash only as this is a non-superwash yarn base.

  • Our hand dyed yarns have been washed to remove excess dye, however some residual dye may remain, particularly in dark and saturated colourways. 
  • It is recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects in cold water.
  • Wool wash or a mild detergent may be used.
  • We recommend blocking and drying garments flat in the shade and not tumble drying.
