LAUNCHING 16.07.26 WITH OUR PEPPERBERRY JUMPER KITS.
Seafarer Sport (5 Ply) is milled by John Arbon Textiles (UK) and dyed by us. It features 90% British Wool (Exmoor Blueface, Bluefaced Leicester, Devon Closewool and Romney), 10% Mulberry Silk (non-superwash) | 300m 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.
With Seafarer Sport, John Arbon Textiles set out to create a yarn with depth of tone and shine akin to sunlight glistening on breaking waves, yet durable enough to stand up to the elements. By blending trusty, durable, Devonian wool with luxurious silk we’ve designed a range which is equally suited to ethereal accessories and hardwearing garments alike. The Exmoor Blueface brings its wonderful springy nature to the blend, Bluefaced Leicester lends its outstandingly soft handle, whilst a dash of rustic Devon Closewool keeps those pills away, and Romney gives a beautiful woolly halo. Adding a dash of silk enhances the blend’s sheen and fine drape, creating something truly unique. A luxurious blend with a hardworking, unpretentious air. Anything you create will look opulent but also be tough enough to ensure long-lasting survival of your woollens – even socks for the hardiest of seafaring folk! The yarn has a worsted spun construction with a four-fold/strand construction.
Use: Perfect for garments, shawls and other mid weight accessories especially those with cables and texture.
Care: Hand wash and dry flat in shade.
