The Saunton Sands Shawl is designed by Laura Penrose for our Annual (issue five). Please note that the kit does not include the pattern. You can purchase the Annual (issue five) that includes the pattern here.
We now offer handy kits for all our patterns in The Annual (issue five)! This is the stunning Saunton Sands Shawl by Laura Penrose, inspired by the classic striped beach umbrellas we all love.
All kits include enough yarn to knit the shawl, along with a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Please be aware that the kit does not include a copy of The Annual – you can get your copy here. Happy knitting!
Laura Penrose’s Saunton Sands Shawl fully embraces the fun and whimsical aesthetic of a vintage seaside holiday and is super fun to knit with its sideways construction. Go full kitsch with a fringe edging or keep it modern with a simple i-cord!
This pattern is fabulous for Sport and DK weight yarns, so we whipped up samples in both our Yarnadelic Sport and Devonia DK.

Yarn Characteristics
Yarn Characteristics
Devonia DK:
Devonia is rather special to us as it’s the first blend we created using exclusively local West Country fibre. It combines Exmoor Blueface, Bluefaced Leicester and Romney, resulting in a springy yarn with a soft handle and fine drape.
50% Exmoor Blueface / 30% Bluefaced Leicester / 20% Romney
233m per 100g | 58m per 25g mini
Yarnadelic Sport:
We love a good bop here at John Arbon Textiles, which got us thinking that it would be wonderful to create a yarn range inspired by our eclectic music tastes – from punk to funk! And so, the Yarnadelic palette was born during an evening of good vibes and chilled wine, with each shade conjuring the sentiment of a favourite song. This groovy range of heathered shades is created from 100% Falklands Corriedale fibre, which is the perfect balance of delightful softness, bounce and slight lustre.
100% Falklands Corriedale

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
We recommend that our yarns are gently washed before use as we don’t do any washing or conditioning after the yarns are spun and skeined. You’ll be amazed by how much the fibre blooms after a soak and it will certainly help you get a more accurate feel for gauge and character of the yarn over time.
Once your piece is finished, we recommend another hand wash before wet blocking the piece to the given dimensions. This will set all your stitches and guarantee that your garment looks its best.

Local Fibre
Our mill is situated in the heart of North Devon. As much as possible we use the fibre which is reared and sheared on this land, utilising the unique properties of each breed in our yarn and tops.

Unique Yarn & Tops
The hours of work and skill that go into producing one of our yarn and tops ranges is reflected in the dedication of a knitter, spinner or crocheter during the intricate journey from beginning to finished garment – both are a harmony of tradition and creativity.

Vintage Machines
Our Mill is one of only a handful of small-scale worsted spinning mills still operating in the UK. Many of our vintage machines were rescued from old, traditional mills before their closure. Keeping them going is a labour of love, but we reckon that the resulting woolly treats are well worth it!
