Yarnadelic Fibre Tops
100% Falklands Corriedale
We love a good bop here at John Arbon Textiles, which got us thinking that it would be wonderful to create a fibre 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.
Yarnadelic is created out of 100% Falklands Corriedale, which is a breed that's around 100 years old, derived by crossing Merino with Lincoln Longwool. It is one of our favourite fibres as it's the perfect balance of delightful softness and bounce from the Merino combined with the slight lustre and long staple length of the Lincoln Longwool.
Yarn spun from Yarnadelic tops will be a wonderful all-round yarn, suitable for everything from cables to lace and garments to accessories.
Every shade of Yarnadelic is named after a song. Check out the playlist on Soundcloud or Spotify. Then sit back and tap that treadle to the beat! We hope you’ll find this groovy range of melange shades inspiring.

Fibre from the Falklands
Fibre from the Falklands
Our climate here in the UK is not suited to Merino and Corriedale sheep. We make sure to source ours from the Falklands in order to ensure that the animals have been treated with the utmost care and are free from harmful mulesing.
Our wool agent, Andrew Bowman, visits the Falklands regularly and has good relationships with local farmers.

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!
