John Arbon Textiles Devonia 4Ply

Where the moorland becomes yarn.

Devonia is not just a yarn – it is a piece of Devon. Born from the desire of John and Juliet Arbon to make their native hills palpable in every skein. In 2001, they began with the vision that the finest fibers should not have to travel halfway around the world, but should graze right at the doorstep.

The first child of their love for home. Devonia was the very first yarn made exclusively from local fibers. A milestone that paved the way for everything that followed. A love letter to the Exmoor landscape, where three sheep breeds unite into a single, wonderful character.

50% Exmoor Blueface – the springy heart of the yarn, as native as the moor heaths. 30% Bluefaced Leicester – the velvety soul that gives shine and grace. 20% Romney – the golden shimmer that adds an elegant weight to everything.

Together, 388 meters of pure poetry are created. A yarn that drapes like a spring breeze, shines like morning dew, and yet retains a hint of woolly liveliness. Perfect for scarves that wrap around your shoulders like water. For cardigans that flow instead of just hanging.

In the mill of North Devon, these skeins are created on machines with names like Gillian and Chapman – rescued veterans from long-gone times, lovingly restored and cared for like family members. Each machine has its quirks, its moods, its little personality. And in this orchestra of gears and dedication, Devonia is born – a yarn that tells stories even before you cast on the first stitch.

Devonia is the yarn for your special projects. For the moments when you want to feel quality, not just see it. For pieces that tell of the rugged beauty of Devon while creating your own quiet luxury.
