John Arbon Yarns
John Arbon’s yarns stands out in the textile industry for its commitment to traditional manufacturing processes and sustainable practices. At their mill in Devon, UK, they utilize vintage machinery to create yarns and fibres that are not only of high quality but also carry the essence of English heritage.
The company is known for its small-scale worsted spinning, which allows for a hands-on approach to blending and designing yarns. This meticulous process results in products with a unique twist, often inspired by the natural landscape of Devon or the personal interests of the founders in art, music, and nostalgia. Moreover, their sustainable production practices, such as using locally sourced fibres and running the mill on water power, contribute to their distinct identity in the market. John Arbon’s knowledge and passion for wool, yarn, and music history are reflected in their innovative Yarnadelic line, where each color is inspired by a song from John’s extensive record collection, further showcasing the brand’s unique blend of craftsmanship and creativity.
