This gorgeous collection of sport weight Falkland Corriedale was inspired by John's own eclectic record collection – everything from punk to funk. By giving this yarn a rounded 3 fold structure, they’ve enhanced the fibres natural stitch definition and drape creating the ideal all round go to yarn for everything from cables to lace and garments to accessories.
The breed is around 100 years old and was derived by crossing the Merino and Lincoln Longwool. It is a favourite fibre as its properties are a perfect balance of delightful softness and bounce from the Merino combined with the slight lustre and long staple length of the Lincoln Longwool – a fibre lover’s dream!
John Arbon Corriedale is farmed in the Falkland Islands – ensuring that the animals have been treated with the utmost care and are free from harmful mulesing. The fibre has then been dyed in the UK and lovingly prepared, blended and spun at their North Devon Mill.
