This yarn from John Arbon really is a fantastic and unusual wool blend. Available in 22 heathered/ mottled shades for extra interest, these colours have a depth that's hard to find.
The Zwartbles sheep is naturally dark brown and has a dear place in our hearts, as when blended with our pre-dyed Bluefaced Leicester and Merino colours, it transforms the fibre into deep, mottled shades reminiscent of our home in Exmoor. When preparing these tops we comb the fibres in one direction, accentuating a blend’s softness, shine and strength. The elegant Merino, bouncy Zwartbles and glowing BFL complement each other perfectly, giving the tops and yarn a delicate woolly halo, impeccable drape and full-bodied texture. This yarn is slightly more rustic so it's perfect for sweaters and colour-work.
