CARE: hand wash at low temperature with mild detergent
Made in the UK
Devonia is a beautiful blend of 3 local-to-Devon breeds: Exmoor Blueface, Devon Bluefaced Leicester and Devon Wensleydale. The Exmoor Blueface is their local sheep and brings its wonderful springy nature, the Bluefaced Leicester lends its outstandingly soft handle and luster to the yarn, whilst the Wensleydale adds its qualities of a beautiful golden sheen and fineness of fiber.
Each shade is inspired by the work of renowned 19th century French tapestry artist Jean Lurcat. We have 20 shades and each is made up of up to 5 blended pre-dyed fibre tops to create a rich melange of color in the spun yarn. It is lovingly worsted spun at John Arbon's Mill into the 4ply weight carried by The Woolly Thistle.
I bought a sweater quantity of this yarn in the colorway Dark Skies. It is a beautiful yarn with a bit of sheen to it. I've begun to swatch with it, and it knits up evenly and with very nice stitch definition. I think it's going to make a lovely sweater!

Beautiful rich colors with a natural sheen, squishy, soft yet toothy, delightful yarn.

Excellent sweater yarn
I am holding this yarn double for a cardigan and am in love. It gives a lovely structure and drape to the garment. I am happy to see my favorite Pollen Gold back in stock, in case I need a bit more to finish this project.
